Australia: Wireless on ACCC Broadband Radar

Andrew Colley writes on Australian IT:

AUSTRALIA'S competition watchdog said it planned to include wireless internet services in its national broadband research for the first time this year.

Each quarter the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission publishes figures on adoption of broadband connections in Australia. However, to date, the regulator has chosen not to include wireless internet in its "snapshot" of Australia's broadband market.

"They're not collected," ACCC Telecommunications general manager Michael Cosgrove said. "That's something we're planning to rectify this year."

Australia's telecommunications industry has to date been without a reliable indicator of how many Australians use wireless internet services.
