2nd tier telcos at the NBN crossroad:

The telecommunications market in Australia is dominated by three firms, Telstra, SingTel Optus and VHA (Vodafone); however it includes a large number of second-tier firms, some of these being large in their own right. Many second-tier companies provide access to fixed line and mobile voice services, as well as Internet access via fixed line or wireless technologies.

The second-tier market is competitively vibrant and offers a very diverse range of products. Price competition is also enhanced by the presence in the industry of many smaller resellers and network operators.

Revenues in second-tier mobile services and data services (including Internet access) continue to show satisfactory growth. However, the fixed voice market is declining in the second-tier market at an even faster rate than it is in the first-tier market it fell by more than 11% in 2008/09, and more than 8% in 2009/10.
