Telstra has withdrawn its appeal against a Court ruling which found that it engaged in "misleading" and "illegal" conduct in its Next G advertising, following a decision by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which disputed claims about the coverage of the network.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has introduced a new Web site called 'Slam A Cyberscam', a service in which consumers can have their say about illegal conduct on the Net.
Facts are facts, right? Not when Telstra, Optus and the communications regulator are involved. With temperatures rising across the board over the contentious issue of broadband, mud-slinging and half-truths have become the order of the day.
Key decisions about competition in Australia's telecommunications industry are expected this week.
Australia's IT execs believe that a fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) deployment is necessary to bolster the country's wealth -- but most believe there won't be a resolution to the fibre question any time soon.
Dodo has been taken to task for misleading advertising. But is telco advertising in Australia misleading in general? What can be done to make it easier for consumers to understand?
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?
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
Australian telecoms is increasingly resembling the US during Prohibition, with Telstra as Al Capone and the ACCC as Eliot Ness.
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.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
ACCC officials with glasses of wine, a golden medal for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and a few faux pas: the annual awards night of the Australian Telecommunications Users Group (ATUG) had it all.
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
April Fool's story catches some readers?
David Forman, executive director of the Competitive Carriers' Coalition tells ZDNet.com.au what he thought Telstra's real reasons were for not following in BT's footsteps.
