Telstra has a "substantial" footprint of next-generation ADSL2+ technology in its telephone exchanges, but remains unwilling to offer the upgraded broadband service to customers, the telco said yesterday.
A consortium of five telecommunications carriers operating under the banner of the Competitive Carriers' Coalition hopes to foment a revolution in the industry, representatives said today.
Victoria's Department of Human Services (DHS) will early next year implement a corporate reporting software solution supporting some 3,000 internal and 100,000 external users.
Data centre and telco traffic peering specialist Equinix has extended network links to Melbourne and Brisbane, enabling organisations to connect back to its Sydney data centre.
Telstra has doubled the speed users can expect on its Next G mobile network, with the launch of new hardware capable of a theoretical maximum downlink of 7.2Mbps.
The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
We've all experienced that irritating feeling upon walking into a nearly empty restaurant, only to see little 'reserved' signs on the empty tables, and to be told by the matre d' that no tables are available even as other people enter and are escorted to their tables.
The men running Telstra have been accused of a lot of things, but lack of conviction is definitely not one of them.

Just a few days after the Australia Connected program was launched Communications Minister Helen Coonan was selling the initiative to the TV talk shows.
Good Technology exec Terry Austin has heard every joke in the book relating to his company's name.

Thirty or so years since the birth of the Internet, we seem to be at a technological standstill when it comes to access speeds and bandwidth. If it is meant to be a superhighway, why does it feel like a back road?
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.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
Videoconferencing at the beach may still be a pipe dream, but the mobile workforce is here today. ZDNet Australia examines how businesses are reaping the benefits of mobility.
HP has partnered with Vodafone to embed HSDPA-compatible wireless broadband connectivity into its Compaq nc6400 notebooks.
Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' -- but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.
