OPTUS continued its run of strong growth in mobile revenues and eclipsed growth rates of its rivals as it posted a $193 million profit for the fourth quarter.
The profit, up 17.1 per cent on the same period last year, lifted the telco’s full-year profit 5.6 per cent to $583 million.
Optus chief executive Paul O’Sullivan attributed the growth to strong iPhone sales and the federal Government’s stimulus packages.
“The mobile market has remained strong in Australia and we believe it’s being driven by two factors. One is the strong appetite that Australians have for internet access through wireless broadband.
“Secondly, the economic stimulus provided by the Government has definitely made itself felt in terms of customer buying patterns,” he said.
