It is "separation day" today for Telecom NZ, as the New Zealand Communications and Information Technology Minister announces his approval of the company's plan to split itself into three operational segments.
Broadband can help Australians save money and cut their carbon footprint, according to new research.
Telstra has lashed back at the majority findings of a Senate committee report on the state of its network, saying the document is "fundamentally flawed, inaccurate and out of date."
Communications Minister Helen Coonan said the federal government won't relax regulations on Telstra just because it has proposed an AU$5 billion hi-tech communications network for the bush.
