Emerging market operators will continue to experience strong connections growth in 2012, with mobile broadband the main driver of this growth, but one analyst warns it will also act as a "strategic disruptor."

The latest forecast for the tablet market predicts there will be eleven million users of the devices in Australia by 2016.

HTC is very prolific. They have more smartphones on the market than the rest of the players combined. But being first to market with a 4G handset, on Telstra's network with the Velocity, gives them an edge. We look at whether 4G is enough.

Communications minister, senator Stephen Conroy has capped the amount of spectrum any single organisation will be able to acquire in the upcoming 700MHz and 2.5GHz auctions at 2x20MHz in the 700MHz and 2x40MHz in the 2.5 GHz band.
