Despite the loss of several key industry partners and the economic downturn, Optus chief executive Paul O'Sullivan said today that the Terria consortium was ready to meet the requirements of the Federal Government's national broadband network (NBN) tender.
Optus has announced it will hold a launch party for Apple's iPhone starting from 10pm on Thursday night in its George St, Sydney store.
The much-hyped iPhone, once limited to being sold within the flagship stores of Apple and its exclusive carrier partners, will be far more widely available once its 3G model launches on 11 July.
Australia's second biggest telco Optus today claimed to have captured the bulk of new sales for Apple's 3G iPhone by offering better value deals than its competitors.
A number of Australians posting on online forums have claimed to be able to use their unlocked iPhone handsets on mobile carrier Hutchison's network.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
People were apparently switching their brains off before joining the 3G iPhone queues, so it's somewhat surprising that considering an appropriate amount of storage was quite a high priority for many buyers.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
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.
During a trip to the US four years ago, I rented a car fitted with an XM satellite radio which gave me well over 100 radio stations, each carrying a continuous stream of crystal-clear talk radio or music in a surprising array of genres.
Industry analysts are always predicting what will happen in the future. David Braue went back in time five years to see how analysts expected the mobile comms market to evolve, and then compared it to what actually happened.
While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

The first BlackBerry clamshell looks great and does the basics well, though its lack of 3G data speeds is disappointing.
