  1. Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association Productivity - Connectivity - Mobility Mobile Broadband A Key Economic Driver

  2. Overview

  3. Latest data (June 30 2008)Australian Communications and Media Authority • The number of 3G subscriptions grew by 88% in 2007-08 from 4.6 million to 8.6 million • There were 22.12 million mobile phone services in Australia at June 30 2008, up from 21.26 million • The welfare gained by customers (consumer surplus) from using mobile telecommunications services was $3,287.80 million compared to $317.50 million for internet services. The ACMA report says the majority of the increase in the consumer surplus is attributable to changes in the mobile telecommunications sector as prices fell and subscriber demand grew • In estimating the consumer surplus for mobiles, ACMA calculated that mobile phone calls fell in price by 21.5% and the price of SMS/MMS decreased by 41.5%.
