In 2001, SingTel became the parent company of Optus, paving the way for Optus to become a strong and strategic telecommunications player within the Asia-Pacific region. SingTel has more than 80 joint ventures in 20 countries. It is growing all the time. Optus is divided into four major business areas - Mobile; Business; Wholesale; and Consumer & Multimedia. The Singtel association makes them a credible threat to Telstra; they are very popular among Asian sector and small business in Australia. Like Telstra, Optus has a cable television and broadband service offering – which indeed enables them to be well positioned for the convergence in the coming years. In order to become a viable market player and a considerable threat to Telstra they have had to become innovative in pricing and service offering packages. Presently Optus Revenue is growing faster than Telstra. Optus is the king of Prepaid in Australia and they will do very well to keep Telstra at bay in the coming years.
