Abstract

The Australian mobile telecommunications market is a mature market in terms of industry structure and content integration.

This chapter provides an overview of the Australian mobile telecommunication market in terms of its development, industry structure, contribution to the economy, major firms by market share in each sector and government agencies involved in its regulation and supervision.
