Industry Context

Technology is changing our world and we are seeing profound change in the way people connect and communicate.

The telecommunications industry is dynamic and growing, with network traffic increasing rapidly and the continued evolution of IP based products and services. Twenty years ago there were less than 100 million mobile devices in the world. Today there are more than five billion. Globally, mobile data grew nearly 70 per cent in 2014[1].
Video now represents more than 50 per cent of all internet traffic. It is a time of enormous opportunity. We know that having the best network is going to matter to the next generation even more than it does to this one and Telstra is going to make sure they get it.
