Australia's Mobile Providers Likely to Ease Handset Discounting -- Market Talk
Dow Jones09-22
0131 GMT - Australia's major mobile providers are likely to ease discounts on handsets with this month's launch of Apple's new iPhones, Macquarie analysts reckon. They tell clients in a note that active discounting by Telstra, TPG Telecom and Singapore Telecommunications-owned Optus have created a highly competitive hardware market. They reckon that TPG is the most aggressive discounter but that Telstra has recently stepped up its sales efforts and is now discounting at a similar level to Optus. Mobile-plan pricing remains mostly rational, they add. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
