 1301.0 - Year Book Australia, 2001
The potential for wireless communication in a country as large and scarcely populated as Australia was immediately evident, and by the end of World War I government wireless stations were established along the entire Australian coastline.
As Australia entered the final decade of the century, having achieved basic access for all Australians and in view of the growing importance of telecommunications in the international marketplace, the Government changed the focus of its communications policy.
Australia has one of the highest levels of mobile telephone ownership in the world, and is second in Internet takeup rate only to the United States.

Admittedly newspapers and magazines look to on-line formats, and print industries are characterised as dynamic and entrepreneurial, particularly in relation to expansion in ethnic community and national newspapers, and also in the highly fluid market for magazines catering to niche interests.
