Optus to Double 3G Spectrum After Huge Growth in Mobile Broadband Customers
Optus has seen a huge growth of 240% in mobile broadband customers over the last 12 months and a growth in 3G services of 43%. On the back of this, Optus has agreed to purchase additional 3G spectrum which, if approved, will double the spectrum available for mobile services in capital cities.
The deal is subject to approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) and clearance from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The managing director of Optus Products and Delivery, Andrew Buay, said Optus would use the additional spectrum “to support retail and wholesale customer demand for Optus’ increasing range of data services.”
