Wireless telco Unwired has shortened its list to three potential hardware suppliers for its WiMax network roll-out, which will see hundreds of base stations light up in the next 12 months to bring wireless broadband to 13 million Australians.
South Australian ISP Internode announced on Monday that it is ready to start trialling a broadband service that offers upstream speeds of 2.5Mbps, which more than doubles the previous maximum of 1mbps.
For nearly two years, companies have bragged about the prospect of delivering broadband Internet access over the electric lines hooked to nearly every home in the US. And though that promise has amounted to little more than hype here, consumers in the Republic of Korea, Brazil and Germany are beginning to use power line communications technology.
Should Telstra be investing in a pre-emptive defence against the NBN? Or should it go slow and wait like everybody else?
