A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 511,000 Australians aged 14+ (3.8 per cent) who took a trip in the year to December 2015 booked part of their last holiday via mobile internet. This compares with 121,000 in 2011.

In contrast, just 2.6 per cent of the 50-64 year-old bracket and 1.3 per cent of the 65+ group booked part of their last trip via mobile internet.

Australian telcos Telstra and Singtel Optus now have access to more parts of the wireless frequency spectrum, enabling them to boost their 4G mobile telephony and internet offerings. The combined spending of $A2bn on the 700Mhz and 2.5Ghz bands will according to experts at Morgan Stanley trigger substantial growth in the number of subscribers using data plans for mobile devices such as tablet computers. Telstra in particular will benefit, and lift its market share to 54% during 2014-15. Users will experience more generous data allowances but few price falls

Singtel Optus has upgraded its 4G mobile network with LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation technology. The telco has indicated that trials of the technology achieved download rates of 160Mbps, compared with a maximum potential download speed of 150Mbps for existing 4G networks. Current mobile devices cannot achieve the higher download speeds, although Optus expects to offer them in coming months
