Summary

Broadband market enters a new era following the NBN strategic reviewThe National Broadband
Network continuing evolution

Since being implemented in 2012, Australias NBN has undergone significant changes. The late-2013
strategic review of the NBN, commissioned by a newly elected government, established a very different
framework. Instead of 93% of the population being covered by FttP, the new architecture has called for
a hybrid network incorporating FttP and FttN, and utilising existing DSL and HFC plant.

Overall, the initial development of the NBN reflected a serious response to the relatively poor quality of
Australias broadband infrastructure. It was also a response to the intransigence of the dominant telco,
Telstra. The government was minded to change its broadband infrastructure plan from a regional to a
national focus, which to a degree has been linked to the development of the digital economy supporting
policies relating to e-commerce, e-health, e-education and smart grid infrastructure. These are all aimed
at utilising the NBN for a myriad of purposes beyond broadband.

Residential and business broadband markets: growing adoption of faster services

Although the business market in Australia was quick to embrace broadband, mainly to access faster data
speeds, a significant proportion of smaller operators has yet to establish an online presence, and by
early 2014 only about 38% had a business website.

The governments Broadband Availability and Quality report, published in December 2013, showed that
1.4 million premises (13% of the total) across many areas of the country had no adequate broadband

infrastructure. These areas include regional and remote regions but also pockets within urban
communities. Given the state of broadband availability and speeds, many businesses still depend on
mobile rather than fixed-line broadband. A growing number in areas where access to the NBN has been
made available have switched to fibre broadband services, which enable these companies to compete in
the global economy more effectively. The faster speeds of fibre infrastructure will see the rapid
adoption by businesses of services such cloud computing, online interaction, and media conferencing.

Business broadband has also allowed greater choices in working environments, with the ability for
employees to tele-work, either from home or on the road while making use of improved mobile
broadband. As such, smartphones and tablets form an increasing part of the business ICT environment.

DSL and HFC markets: stable growth as copper plant survives within the NBN

The DSL sector continues to show resilience in the marketplace, bolstered in recent years by operators
adopting new technologies which can deliver greater data capacity on legacy copper infrastructure. In
conjunction with Telstras unbundled local loop service, which provides a platform for competitors to
offer broadband services, the slow-down in the rollout of the NBN has also meant that the number of
customers expected to migrate from copper to fibre-based services is far lower than initial NBN Co
forecasts. Many telcos have installed their own DSLAM infrastructure, enabling them to provide fairly
high-speed internet services via ADSL2+.
Following the strategic review of the NBN, which emphasised a combination of FttN and HFC
architecture, the transition from DSL to fibre-based infrastructure is likely to be on a far smaller scale
than formerly envisaged.

The cable sector has been stable in recent years, and though Telstra and Optus have upgraded parts of
their cable networks with DOCSIS3.0 technology, there has been little investment in expanding network
footprint given that operators expected these networks to be incorporated within the NBN and then
superseded by FttP. The new NBN has placed a greater emphasis on existing hybrid fibre coax plant
being part of the national broadband plan. As such, many cable customers in NBN areas will not be
migrated to the new fibre network.

In early 2014 there are fewer than one million cable broadband subscribers, accounting for less than to
8% of the total broadband market in Australia. However, most of these subscribers are high-end users
providing relatively high ARPU for the cablecos.

Mobile broadband growth supported by Australias globally impressive LTE infrastructure

By the end of 2014 about a third of Australias mobile subscribers will be on LTE networks. Telstra took
the lead in this market, followed by Optus and Vodafone which launched services during 2013. These
MNOs have invested in spectrum and network upgrades to bolster network capacity, while the
geographic extension of LTE will see wider take-up from consumers in coming years. Although the MNOs
will be expecting a greater return on their investments, partly by charging a premium for LTE services,
price competition will keep revenue growth low.
