The merger of the third and fourth-largest mobile network operators Vodafone and Hutchison Australia will fundamentally alter the competitive landscape, it continues.

"If VHA is successful in the longer term the company may challenge both Optus and Telstra in an effort to become the largest service provider in Australia," the report states.

Another critical issue for the Australian telecommunications industry is whether Telstra will be structurally separated in order to promote competition, it continues.

Research and Markets has also highlighted the importance of the Australian telecoms market for vendors entering the sector, pointing out that technological infrastructure in the country is improving.ADNFCR-1833-ID-19413470-ADNFCR
