www.researchandmarkets.com - Research and Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com/research/12a806/australia_broadb) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Broadband - Statistical Overview and Forecast" report to their offering.

In this report we provide detailed broadband subscribers statistics, market shares and forecasts for ADSL, cable and other subscribers. ADSL subscriber breakdown by operator is also provided. As we

reveal, the total number of broadband subscribers reached 4.4 million by mid-2007, a 29% increase over the 12 months. For the 12 months to mid-2008 the annual growth should slow down further to 19%, to reach around 5.2 million broadband subscribers. Because of the significant level of pent-up demand, Australia saw spectacular growth during 2005 and 2006, as the migrated from dialup to broadband, although growth started to slow down in 2007, and will taper off further during the 2008 to 2010 period. Australia is still trailing two years behind penetration levels in Europe and Asia. By 2015 we estimate that the broadband market (including digital media) will have grown to around $45 billion, by which time it will have absorbed what we now call the data communications market as well.
