Telstra announced today that it had won a five-year $50 million contract to provide a network services and cloud computing platform to packaging giant Visy.
The telecommunications arm of construction company Abigroup has won a multimillion-dollar deal to build base stations for Perth's new WiMax network vividwireless.
A national telephone warning system designed to send emergency bushfire alerts could be expanded to warn of mass shootings and major police incidents.
Key cabinet ministers have given differing views on Telstra's ownership of Foxtel, as the government prepares to carve up the telco giant.
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.
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.
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.
When Coles introduced Fly Buys, Woolworths introduced Everyday Rewards. When Coles introduced petrol discount vouchers, Woolworths introduced petrol discount vouchers. It's a bold plan, but can it and Coles' inevitable copycat product change the prepaid mobile world for the better?
The ACCC is concerned that a Vodafone-Hutchison merger will stifle mobile competition, but after new figures reveal systematic deception by carriers it's prudent to ask: could the merger really make things any worse than they already are?
If Telstra is serious about engaging with the Federal Government over the National Broadband Network it should immediately start the work needed to break itself in two.
IBRS advisor Guy Cranswick argues that the use of net neutrality is an aggressive manoeuvre to retain market share and withhold change in the telecommunications market.
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.
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 cute, Next G capable clamshell that performs well, but without any remarkable features the EasyTouch fails to make a lasting impression.
Telstra has unveiled an upgrade to its Next G mobile high-speed data network that it claims has delivered download speeds of up to 2.3Mbps at a range of 200km.
iBurst is a superb wireless broadband solution that's highly useful for the mobile business user, but users who don't require portability will likely find its price to be a deal breaker.
Vodafone Australia's managing director has savaged mobile number portability as a regulator-driven failure that cost his company AU$50 million.
Telstra expects the increased uptake of the recently launched Blackberry wireless e-mail/data solution to help drive non-SMS data revenue from less than 10 percent to 70 percent of that achieved from SMS.
