I've been asked for more up-to-date information on Australian 
information infrastructure and adoption levels as per this:
http://www.rogerclarke.com/II/OzI04.html#AInfra

That was written c. Christmas 2003, based on data up to early-mid 2003.

If anyone can quickly point to useful sources on such things, through 
the noughties and up to some recent date, I'd be very grateful.

Feel free to interpret the data too  (:-)}

But my request is really about where one looks for relevant data in 
the 2003-10 timeframe.

(NOIE is now AGIMO and I don't think AGIMO does this kind of thing 
any more.  Does BCDE?  Have ABS stats matured?  Has some organisation 
in the private sector taken over as the de facto provider of data on 
Internet uptake and usage, and more recently mobile Internet / 
smartphone uptake?  Of course, market maturation and segmentation 
means that the categories that need measuring are quite different 
from what they were in 2003).


(Declaration:  The enquirer is a parliamentarian;  I'm not aware 
which side of politics they're on;  the enquiry is entirely sensible; 
and this is Friday evening pro bono, not paid work).
