Each year the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) produces a report that assesses various aspects of telecommunications in Australia. The latest report has some interesting findings relevant to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with a particular emphasis on consumer satisfaction and the perceived benefits of a digital economy.
Facts about usage trends are also covered, including:
Trends
In the 12 months to June 2012:
- The total number of smartphone users had increased to 49 per cent of adults, up from 25 per cent in June 2011.
- The number of Australians going online at least once a day increased by eight per cent to 10.8 million.
