The fixed voice service revenue in Australia is expected to decline at a CAGR of 5.5 percent over 2020-2025, due to the drop in circuit switched subscriptions and fixed voice average revenue per user (ARPU) levels, according to GlobalData.
Fixed broadband revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5 percent over 2020-2025, supported by growth in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fixed wireless subscriptions.
