Telecommunications Market Reports
New Zealand
Internet and ISP - Statistical Overview
Report
The New Zealand market remains
dominated by Telecom’s Xtra and TelstraClear (with clear.net and
paradise.net). Between them they occupied approximately 70% of
the market in late 2005. The next tier of providers includes ihug
and CallPlus, with the remainder of the market consisting of
small resellers of Telecom’s dial-up services. New and existing
subscribers began to move from dial-up to broadband as broadband
prices started to become more competitive in 2005 and this trend
will continue into 2006. The ISP market is expected to further
consolidate beyond 2005, as more ISPs will financially struggle
to survive. This report provides the latest statistics on ISP
subscribers, ISP revenues and forecasting for 2006. See the report
summary.
New Zealand
Telecommunications - Key Statistics
This report provides key
statistical data for 2005, covering all the major
telecommunications segments including Internet, broadband,
telephone network and broadcasting. Broadband penetration in New
Zealand is low at 7% compared with other OECD countries, although
adoption rates increased significantly during 2005. Mobile
penetration is starting to reach saturation levels – the
mobile penetration level had reached 86% towards the end of
2005. see report
summary.
New Zealand -
Telecoms Overview and Analysis - 2006
Telecom maintains a stranglehold
on the local access market in fixed line voice and broadband.
Telecom began a rollout of its NGN network in 2005, however a
2012 completion date will leave New Zealand well behind the rest
of the developed world. From 2003 to 2005 the industry saw a
significant rise in the use of wireless technologies as serious
competition to the more traditional copper and fibre optic-based
solutions. A number of niche fibre optic networks had also been
established by late 2005. see report
summary.
Mobile &
Broadband Overview and Analysis - 2006
The mobile market in New Zealand is moving towards saturation
levels in 2006 and 2007. Broadband penetration in New Zealand
remains alarmingly low despite significant adoption during 2005.
Without regulatory intervention to introduce Local Loop
Unbundling (LLU) the situation is not likely to get much better
during 2006 and 2007. The ISP market is expected to further
consolidate beyond 2005, as more ISPs will financially struggle
to survive. Pay TV prices remains far too high due to the market
dominance of SKY TV. TelstraClear in late 2005 was the only
player offering real triple play services in New Zealand. New
Zealand lags behind most of the developed world in the transition
to digital television. This report provides a detailed overview
of the mobile, Internet, broadband, convergence and broadcasting
sectors of the New Zealand telecommunications market including
market statistics. see summary.
New Zealand Internet
Usage and Broadband Status
Internet access
Three-quarters of New Zealanders have
access to the internet at home or at work. That represents a rise
of 29 points from 48% in February 2000 to 77% in November, 2004,
according to the latest NBR-Phillips Fox poll. Among those who
have access, nearly 60% use the internet at least once a day.
But despite the higher numbers, the amount of business New
Zealanders conduct over the internet is static. Data security and
ensuring the safety of commercially sensitive information are
among the concerns involved around internet-based business.
Online share trading remains at virtually nil, with little change
from September 2002.
Internet users appear to be taking heed of music industry
warnings and downloading less music, a five-point dip from
September 2002's 24% of respondents. But Kiwis are buying more
books over the past three months, 14% of respondents had
bought a book online, up six points from 2002.
Surprisingly, an area that also remains static is online grocery
shopping, floating around the 3% mark. Supermarkets attribute
this to the fact people like to pick their own groceries, and
the main concern of internet shopping the hesitancy
to enter credit card details online.
Increased broadband access in remote areas has seen rural
communities going online with greater ease than ever before.
However, according to the Ministry of Economic Development (MED)
broadband users in New Zealand were paying significantly more for
access than in other OECD countries. The report looking at
the cost of broadband internet, fixed-line and mobile telephone
calls revealed New Zealand businesses pay 160% above the
OECD average for medium data users and 80% more than low data
users.
New Zealand compares well in terms of broadband access
availability compared to other OECD countries. And it is still
improving Woosh announced the launch of four new
transmission sites in Auckland in November, 2004. The wireless
internet company said the new sites two of which are in
Manukau will incorporate another 15,000 households and
businesses into its coverage area.
Source: UMR Research The UMR Research omnibus is a telephone survey of a
nationally representative sample of 750 New Zealanders aged 18 or
older. Fieldwork was conducted from November 4-8 at UMR
Research's national interview facility in Auckland. The margin of
error for a 50% figure at the "95% confidence level" is
±3.6%.
