About us

What we are

The Network Insight Institute is an independent, non-profit organisation committed to the future of communications.

We provide independent information, ideas, seminars and publications for the community and industry about the futures of media, telecommunications and e-commerce. 

We do these things for their own sake: not to make a profit, or to push any product or message.

Publications and Events

We regularly bring together the commercial innovators and drivers in the ICT (information and communications technology) sector. From these events – and associated publications – we forge and deliver top-level industry insights with several important characteristics:

  • A focus on the period 2-5 years ahead
  • Realistic legislative and policy options, rather than abstract theory
  • Objective, independent analysis, rather than advocacy or consultancy
  • Co-operation with communications people and firms, as a clearing-house of ideas and information

Areas of analysis

Our focus is on convergence, especially in Australia and other East Asian countries. Special sub-sector interests include:

  • telecommunications (access, interconnect, competition, broadband and investment issues)
  • radio and television (including datacasting, HDTV and multichannel digital broadcasting)
  • e-commerce
  • freedom of communication
  • media content (including legal and ethical principles)
  • new channels (broadband, satellite and digital))
  • Internet governance and censorship

Assurance of Independence

The institute is financially supported by sponsor donations and competitive research grants. Our sponsors are major Australian media, information industry and telecoms players -- plus investment banks and other professional services firms. Funding by so many competing firms and sectors underwrites our independence. We are based in the Sydney offices of the international law firm Allens Arthur Robinson, and are affiliated with RMIT University.
