An Adelaide-based Telstra customer who sought AU$18 million in compensation for a dodgy landline lost his legal bid last week after the Federal Court dismissed the claim due to lack of evidence
Australia's top two telecommunications players have loudly touted broadband milestones this week -- but a telecommunications analyst has warned growth in the sector may be curtailed unless an appropriate competition regime is maintained.
Shadow communications minister Lindsay Tanner has unveiled the Labor Party's plans for the telecommunications industry under a Labor government, singling out Telstra ownership and industry competition as the major issues for its party platform.
Telstra has welcomed the re-election of the federal coalition due to its policy supporting the full privatisation of the carrier, with chief executive officer Ziggy Switkowski saying the board and management would like to "congratulate the government on their stunning victory".
Australian telecommunications heavyweight, Telstra, unveiled its new "Innovation Centre" in Sydney yesterday, designed to "accelerate the development of new and emerging technology solutions for customers".
Australia's competition regulator has warned it will act to ensure technological innovations that pose a serious threat to Telstra's dominance of the telecommunications sector are not "strangled at birth".
