Broadband service and its performance in Australia
Telecommunication companies in Australia, serve the nation with the best possible communication connections such unlimited landline calls. Global Information Technology report of World Economic Forum's has ranked Australia at the 18th position for its competitive performance in the field of information and communication technologies. Â Australia was performing well in the past decade (in the year 2004) and was ranked fourth. Â The basic drawback noted was the less investment in infrastructure and broadband.
A research study concluded that in among 8.8 million Australian internet connections, only 4.1 per cent of internet users were enjoying the downloading content at the speeds greater than 10 mbps (the speed required to stream 720p high-definition movies).
The internet services provided by the companies should be rebounded and a strong broadband network should be laid. It is considered that The National Broadband Network (Roll out) will try to deliver download speeds of up to 100Mbps, so the roll out program is going to work as a supportive measure for Australia broadband performance in coming decades. It is assumed that National Broadband services will connect 93 per cent of Australian homes and businesses and the optic fiber network will compete with the whole world. Â The National Broadband Network has assured for delivering speeds competing the best speed in the world.
As digital nation and the economy is the essential feature for surviving in today's development index. The digital market helps in maximum communication, circulation of money and finally supports the growth in GDP of Australia. Hence, Telecommunication can be denoted as the mandatory feature for development and especially the internet services in today's world.
Broadband services are delivered by the telecommunication companies. They provide various facilities like Home and Business bundle broadband plans, broadband plans, etc. The plans serve the customers with additional internet facility at affordable rates and numerous features.
As the telecommunication companies did not perform well in the last decades, National Broadband Network is an appreciable attempt of the government which targets a reliable high speed broadband. This facility will provide better service in affordable price to all Australians. Australia can compete and regain top positions in the list of nations providing best and fastest internet speed around 100 mbps after the execution of this rollout.
As the telecommunication companies are already trying to be the best service provider, the NBN will be a supportive factor too. Â Besides the internet connection, it has been reported that the section of internet security and internet fraud is handled in the best possible way by the nation, in comparison to other nations in the world.
If we want to stand among the top listed nations with best performance in internet services and digitalized world, the nation will have to execute and perform more strongly in accordance to the targets of NBN rollout.
