ZDNet Australia journalist Renai LeMay weighs in with his 2007 predictions for the local telecommunications industry.
Telstra is still bestriding Aussie telecoms like a colossus, according to the latest report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) into how the country's telcos are faring.
Telstra has called on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to be "light handed" in dealing with 3G networks after the telco giant tied the knot with Hutchison to jointly own and operate H3GA's existing 3G radio access network.
Mobile carrier Vodafone has bought the ihug-branded New Zealand business of telco iiNet for AU$36 million.
Optus today rolled out its first Australian third generation (3G) site in the national capital, ahead of similar launches of its high speed wireless service in Sydney and Melbourne by the end of the year.
With all the excitement over the iPhone, few people have noticed that 1 July was the 11th anniversary of the deregulation of Australia's telecommunications market.
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
Last week, a family friend rang for some technical help. "Telstra sold me this wireless Internet service and they promised it would work both at my home and at my office," he said. Said home is in the Melbourne CBD, and said office is in Kyneton, a lovely town about an hour away from Melbourne.
Competition should drive more affordable products and services unless you're Telstra where "the only way is up" seems to be its motto.
