Australia - Telco Company ProfilesLONDON, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Australia's mobile network market is set for a major shakeup The Australian mobile market is dominated by the three major mobile network operators Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone (VHA). These have been able to offer LTE services on a wholesale basis thus encouraging growth in the LTE sector. There is also a significant number of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) in Australia: These companies purchase wholesale mobile services from the MNOs, provide services under their own brand and typically provide their own billing and customer care. Key MNVOs in Australia include Amaysim, Kogan Mobile, Aldi Mobile, Ovo Mobile, Boost Mobile, Lebara Mobile and Virgin Mobile. MNVO Amaysim recently launched NBN products. It has an ambitious goal to generate customer ARPUs of as much as $200 per month via a bundle of NBN. Amaysim is looking to link up with fibre providers across Australia to expand its reach which could also then be used to expand its offerings into new segments and beyond the NBN. Mobile broadband usage continues to grow strongly, a trend which will continue in the wake of the marketing of a wide range of affordable and more capable devices, and of LTE population coverage which by 2018 had reached about 98%. 4.5G and 5G are the new frontiers linked to wearable device communications and other IoT and M2M activities.
