Established in 1994, Communications Day is the authoritative source for commercial, regulatory, political and technology news and analysis for telecommunications in Australia and New Zealand. Delivered every working day to a reader base of C-level executives, regulators, government and opposition ministers and their staff, CommsDay provides essential business intelligence and a key competitive advantage for anyone working in the ANZ telecoms sector.
Communications Alliance CEO Luke Coleman has called for a national inquiry into planning and regulatory roadblocks that are preventing telco infrastructure rollouts, warning that the industry is facing an epidemic of BANANAs - "Build Almost Nothing Anywhere Near Anything."
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has proposed updates to its industry guidance that sets out its expectations for RSPs when they use speed claims in marketing material. The consultation on the changes comes ahead of NBN Co's planned boost to its Fast range of speed tiers in September.
SkyMesh group CEO Jordan Grives says the telco is now in a financial position to pursue aggressive growth under its new ownership, while retaining its traditional focus on regional and rural end users.
CommsDay events are where Australia’s telecoms leaders meet. From our flagship CommsDay Summit in Sydney and Congress in Melbourne, to our specialised industry conferences focusing on wireless, datacentres, wholesale and more, each of our events provides access to exceptional speakers and delegates, unparalleled networking, and unrivalled brand exposure for our sponsors.

Communications Day’s Grahame Lynch keeps telco executives in ANZ up-to-date with essential business intelligence, featuring interviews with C-level executives and government ministers in this weekly podcast.
CommsDay Summit is the forum for Australia’s top telecoms leaders: CEOs of our major telecom network operators and retailers, senior leaders from the world’s top telecom technology providers and the heads of Australia’s telecom regulatory agencies and major co-regulatory stakeholders.
The Summit attracts around 400 speakers and delegates: a who’s who of all the people you need to meet and talk with in Australian telecommunications, but intimate enough that you can network effectively and not get lost in the crowd.
