As the world’s sixth largest country, Australia has a total area of roughly 7.7mn km2 but a population of just 23.2mn, with most concentrated in coastal cities and towns such as Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Victoria. Mobile phone penetration has reached 90%, of which 17% use only mobile for their connectivity for both voice and data. New Zealand is much smaller in size, at 268,021 km2 and a population of roughly 4.75mn, with mobile phone penetration at 110%. With infrastructure sharing building momentum, industry stakeholders explored both the challenges and opportunities in both countries at TowerXchange’s 3rd Annual Meetup Asia in December 2016.
