Australians are embracing multiple communication technologies, with the mobile phone, the rise of the smartphone and Internet-based communications complementing traditional fixed-line telephony, according to research by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
It found that in the six months to April 2011, 84 percent of adults in fixed-line telephone households used three or more communication technologies, compared to 82 percent at April 2010.
Some 57 percent of adult consumers used three communication technologies – eg, a fixed-line telephone, a mobile phone and the Internet – while a further 27 percent also used VoIP Internet calls.
At June 30, some 19 percent of adults did not have a home fixed-line telephone, up from 16 percent at June 2010.
