Alcatel has launched its AU$4 million new Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) Centre of Excellence in Sydney, called Innovation Central.
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.
Telstra cut around 1,000 full-time staff positions in the six months from June 30 last year and has commenced the network buildouts it announced in November.
The telco's move to reduce its internal technology platforms was around 15 percent complete, nearly one year after its transformation strategy was first announced.
Cisco says Metro Ethernet is the future of broadband. Rubbish, says Alcatel, celebrating its 20 millionth DSL line

The coming glut of 100Gbps Ethernet shows that the potential growth of the National Broadband Network is limited only by the laws of physics and the laws of Parliament.
There's something immensely gratifying about accomplishing the seemingly impossible -- particularly in IT, where pundits regularly proclaim that a particular technology has hit its physical limits.
Mike Quigley and Doug Campbell's long-standing relationships with Telstra and few of its rivals will lead Australia's telecommunications industry to question privately whether Telstra will receive a phenomenal level of access to the NBN decision-making processes.
Today's broadband could be relegated to slowcoach status as next-generation chips get ready to rumble - but only for townies.
