- Broadband: demand drivers
What are the needs of services and applications of the market: games, movies, music, education, health, IPTV, video telephony? Or is the strongest demand coming from plain old personal communication and business data? Is the right approach just to build, now we know how much business, govt and community depend on it? How can we accelerate the growth of critical mass for ubiquity and universality? How do we compare, in productivity and strategies with leaders such as Korea, Japan and Singapore? What can we learn from the global leaders, and what strategies are already working here?
- Reaching stranded consumers: broadband & TV delivery
This workshop brought telcos and broadcasters together to look at giving domestic and SME consumers better broadband access. Challenges include local government restrictions, town planning laws, lack of co-operation between utilities, and possibly lack of communications infrastructure development generally. Problem-solving technologies include FTTP, ADSL2+ and wireless broadband. But which is realistic for what markets?
- 3G content & mobile devices
3G take-up in 2005 marks a new era in communications, with mobile devices such as phones and PDAs becoming major channels to the consumer. This seminar looked at ways to help the creation of content from all sources, including new enterprises and application developers, and existing media and Internet.

These papers report on the Digital rights: management & co-operation seminar about how Australian enterprises can manage rights sensibly and even creatively, in the interests of providers and consumers.

- VoIP regulatory options
This paper examines options to provide normal treatment for VoIP services within the Australian telecommunications regime.
- Building viable NGN markets
This publication is the record of our expert round table which shares thinking about future competition and co-operation arrangements in the new telecommunications landscape. It also deals with commercial and structural arrangements for NGNs. It asks whether co-operative investment, efficient use of shared infrastructure, and the standards for NGN interconnection will require some changes to the rules of play. The changes might be new negotiating fora, improved forms of multi-party contract, new roles for industry bodies and regulators; possibly even law reform. The report brings together a mix of experts in economics, regulation, mediation, law, engineering, plus management experience in telecommunications and other public utilities.
