AUSTRALIA is one of only two developed countries where the take-up of broadband internet connections declined last year, new figures show.

Figures for 31 countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development show the number of broadband subscribers per 100 of the population slipped 0.55 last year in Australia.

An industry analyst, Paul Budde, said Australia's slide might be a reflection of many people opting for wireless internet services, such as through their mobile phone, rather than a broadband connection. But he did not believe this trend would cause alarm for the government's proposed national broadband network

John Hilvert, communications director for the Internet Industry Association, said
''People in Australia love competition, and at the moment wireless is better value for money and more flexible,''
