Australia's Wireless Market - Analysing NBN Co Deployment Plans

Understanding the way Australia's broadband services relate to the distribution of Australia's population is crucial to understanding the challenges faced by the NBN. How well can we identify where Australia's under-served households are, and how well do we understand their communications needs?

Drawing on Market Clarity's extensive geo-analysis of telecomms infrastructure in Australia, Shara Evans will look at how population distribution already affects telecommunications service deployment - and how this relates to the plans announced by NBN Co to date.

28 April 2008 to 1 May 2008
The Grace Hotel
Sydney

2008 will see the most important decision taken in the field of communications since the sale of Telstra in 1997.  At stake is the future of telecommunications, IT and services and our ability to remain competitive in a fiercely competitive global marketplace.

Australian Broadband will go to the heart of the major issues. We will be scrutinising the different models and evaluating what is likely and what is possible.  We will be assessing different technologies and forecasting their ultimate role in the creation of a new system.

Perhaps most importantly we will be considering the future of telecommunications regulation in Australia.  Most stakeholders have the same overall goal and a competitive environment can only serve to deliver the best possible price to the consumer.  Achieving this will very much depend on the right level of involvement from Government and regulatory bodies.

Shara Evans, CEO of Market Clarity, will share her insight on the current state of play of broadband in Australia.

• Where broadband infrastructure is and isn't
• New technologies on the horizon
• What do we need to do to remain competitive with overseas broadband deployments
• What about an Australian Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) network?

Australia's Telecommunications Infrastructure: A Report Card by Engineers Australia
28 February 2008
Engineers Australia Auditorium
Sydney

Over the period 2000 to 2005, Engineers Australia produced a series of Infrastructure Report Cards at a national, State and Territory level. These Report Cards assessed the planning, management, funding and provision of Australia's transport, water and energy infrastructure. In 2006 Engineers Australia commenced a project to produce an ICT Infrastructure Report Card.

Engineers Australia commissioned Market Clarity, a telecommunications analyst firm, to develop a report on fixed and mobile telecommunications infrastructure and work with Engineers Australia to determine a series of rankings for Australian statistical divisions according to the availability of telecommunications infrastructure. The Report Card covers fixed infrastructure related to telecommunications transmission and access networks, and to mobile networks.

In this presentation Dr Alan McPhail, Chairman, EA ITEE College Board and Telecommunications Report Card Steering Committee, will provide a background to the Telecommunications Report Card and the process which was followed to develop the report including the challenging process of appropriate metrics for each element of infrastructure and the presentation of the metrics in the form of the rankings for the telecommunications infrastructure.

Shara Evans will describe Market Clarity's extensive Telecommunications Infrastructure Database used to support the development of the report for Engineers Australia. Shara will also provide updated information based on further research conducted by Market Clarity over the past 12 months. Shara's presentation will include new geospatial maps depicting Australian broadband infrastructure.
