Australia needs to get out of the digital dark ages

There is going to be a paradigm shift in the way content is distributed. It is not “in the future”, it is now.

Consider this:

  1. An estimated 30% of xBox 360 users are downloading games from xBox live instead of buying physical media
  2. Steam, which has an estimated 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games, hits 30 million user accounts
  3. There is an ongoing battle for the digital living room with IPTV services offered by Google, Apple and Microsoft.

In order to stay relevant on a global socioeconomic scale, Australia needs to get out of the digital dark ages with high speed fibre optic internet.
