Established in 1994, Communications Day is the authoritative source for commercial, regulatory, political and technology news and analysis for telecommunications in Australia and New Zealand. Delivered every working day to a reader base of C-level executives, regulators, government and opposition ministers and their staff, CommsDay provides essential business intelligence and a key competitive advantage for anyone working in the ANZ telecoms sector.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has noted that although MNOs are experiencing revenue growth, "its overall financial health remains uncertain due to several structural challenges." Those challenges include declining ARPU, rising MVNO competition and regulatory pressures, as well as the impact of heavy capex to deliver 5G expansion and IoT development.
