By 2007 Sensis claimed to have 14% of the Australian main media market and over 20% of the online ad market. In comparison with its international peers, Telstra is not yet tapping into new revenue streams like triple play, IPTV and VoIP. The company is still however one of the best-placed telcos in the world to profit from the new developments in digital media. OptusWith a large proportion of its total revenue attributed to mobile, Optus is starting to feel the pinch of a mobile market that has almost reached the point of saturation. Legacy voice products dropped in its 2006/07 annual results as expected, but what was of most concern, was the extent of that fall. With the OPEL network proposal we are at last seeing real initiative and innovation from Optus. If the network is successfully implemented, it gives Optus the opportunity to make real inroads into Telstras market share in the broadband market. 2nd Tier Telcos are covered in a separate report. |
