Victorian Premier John Brumby yesterday announced the creation of a new broadband-focused institute at the University of Melbourne, labelling it another reason why the headquarters of the planned National Broadband Network company should be in his state.
Tasmania's builder of the National Broadband Network, Aurora Energy, yesterday said it would factor in rising sea levels in its assessment of where to lay fibre along the state's coastline.
After "a healthy debate" with NBN Co chief executive, iiNet supremo Michael Malone has been convinced that the National Broadband Network will be delivered.
We've got a few copies of former Optus executive Paul Fletcher's new book "Wired Brown Land? Telstra's Battle for Broadband" floating around the office and it's time to pass one on.
Telstra should move quickly to negotiate as favourable a strategic NBN position possible, analysts have warned after the government's bombshell announcement yesterday that it would separate the telco's retail and wholesale operations if the company didn't voluntarily separate first.
Labor's fibre-to-the-premises NBN was meant to be an act of freedom, a breaking-free from 100 years of copper infrastructure legacy and the start of something new. So why in the world are we still discussing Telstra's copper network?
Time will tell how the rest of the NBN Co board shapes up, but it's hard to dismiss the credentials of its two most high-profile appointments so far.
Telstra's 21Mbps Next-G boost and Internode's new 100Mbps FttH networks may be both companies' show ponies, but when it comes to helping most of us, their need-for-speed posturing is just a box-and-dice distraction that we've all seen before.
Virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry has their say in the Senate Standing Committee's public hearing into the pending legislation to split up Telstra, in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
As the NBN bypasses the airwaves and offers a new pipe into 90 per cent of Australia's homes, could long-languishing IPTV services spell the beginning of the end for TV as we know it?
We've got a few copies of former Optus executive Paul Fletcher's new book "Wired Brown Land? Telstra's Battle for Broadband" floating around the office and it's time to pass one on.
A new Goldman Sachs report reinforces the market's conclusion that, whatever the National Broadband Network looks like, it is going to have to be taxpayer-funded and the cheques will be massive.
Loosening the regulatory controls on Telstra might actually make it easier to attract customers away from its copper network and onto the new and shiny National Broadband Network.
The Federal Government's preferred National Broadband Network partner is due to be nominated shortly. As that moment looms, and Stephen Conroy's language becomes more aggressive, Telstra's share price has been imploding.
The silence clinging to Stephen Conroy's National Broadband Network deliberations may have fried some brains in Australia's telecommunications industry.
