Federak Communications Minister Conroy has named the government's AU$4.7 billion national broadband network as the reason for an apparent lack of action on the universal service obligation (USO) review.
The Federal government has released guidelines for the Australian Broadband Guarantee (ABG) it says will make the program more effective.
The G9 consortium has launched an online petition to compel the Federal government to include a structural separation component as part of the incumbent's contract should it win the bid for the national broadband network.
TPG-Soul has pulled out of the Terria consortium today, saying the nation doesn't need a national broadband network.
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.
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.
Will the Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee's report linger as simply yet another ineffectual review guiding limp and ineffectual efforts to improve regional services?
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
If there's fibre running to the node down my street by the end of 2009, I'll eat my own shoes with mustard sauce.
Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.
