After "a healthy debate" with NBN Co chief executive, iiNet supremo Michael Malone has been convinced that the National Broadband Network will be delivered.
Pipe Networks' chief, Bevan Slattery, may have found his "cash-out" door from the company that helped internet service providers snub Telstra, but many of those customers are not happy that a direct competitor could now control it.
Opinions are split amongst analysts, telcos and ISPs as to whether Pipe's new PPC-1 Sydney to Guam submarine cable will lead to lower broadband prices for Australians, but all agree the threat of its arrival, set for October, has had a positive impact already.
iiNet managing director Michael Malone's total remuneration for the year to 30 June 2008 almost doubled over the previous year, according to the company's annual report released today.
iiNet was today dragged into the federal court as major film studios filed a case against the ISP for allegedly letting its users download pirated movies and television series.
I have one word for the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT). Gutless.
Rejecting Telstra's proposal, after all, is the only conclusion Conroy can reach: as someone whose entire philosophy is built around transparency and process, he simply cannot keep Telstra as part of the NBN bidding process anymore.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
Executives from several of Australia's largest internet service providers have over the past few months expressed their desire to become media companies in their own right.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
The leaders of three of Australia's largest ISP's have declared the Net neutrality debate as solely a US problem and further, that the nation that pioneered the internet might want to study the Australian market for clues as to how to solve the dilemma.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
iiNet customers who yearn for a simple networking life will do well out of BoB, although like most routers, it's not without its quirks.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
Asus' inexpensive 802.11n router is a bit of a bargain, although it does also bring with it some bargain basement sensibilities.
Asus' high-end wireless router has plenty of throughput grunt, but we do wish the company would offer better support documentation.
