When will AU gigabit broadband take off? Gigabit Value Tracker

As Australia's NBN marks completion in mid-2020, NBN is releasing new Gigabit pricing (May 2020). This dataset tracks NBN retail pricing and compares with global gigabit pricing especially from Australia's Top Ten Trading Partners. Analysis includes comparing gigabit pricing to ARPU (average monthly pricing for an ISP) to see if there is a trigger price, which accelerates takeoff (eg 10-25%) of Gigabit services.For instance, in 2018, China gigabit prices are 10X ARPU.
