Australia: What’s in Store for the Broadband Market? By 2004, Australia had enjoyed an impressive 120 percent CAGR for the last three years in broadband subscribers. Momentum continued into this year, and we believe there remains significant room for continued growth. Forecasts indicate that the growth rate will slow to a feverish double digit figure of 16 percent for the next five years. This rate is impressive against our expectations for Western Europe and North America’s 14.5 percent and 10 percent respectively. The drivers for subscriber growth will stem from untapped demand both in cities and rural areas, where intensifying competitive pressure starts bringing prices lower. Overall, we believe the Australian market’s broadband penetration will reach almost 30 percent by YE2010, and almost 18 percent broadband revenue growth rate.
