“New Zealand - Digital Economy and Digital Media”

Digital economy and digital media companies are playing an increasingly important role in the telecommunications markets. Governments are realising the benefits of e-government applications, not only to cut costs but to improve processes and information flow. The New Zealand Governments commitment to a $1.5 billion ultra-fast broadband investment initiative with national targets for 97% to achieve broadband speeds from homes and businesses of >5Mb/s, with 91% having speeds >10Mb/s, must ensure that New Zealand has the necessary infrastructure for development of e-government, e-commerce and digital media to keep pace with similar developments across the world.

In this report, BuddeComm provides an overview of the digital economy and digital media markets in 2010, with updates and information on the e-government, e-health and e-learning markets.
