Internode will launch video-on-demand services into the Australian market early next year. In addition the ISP is finalising its plans to join the heating-up Australian Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) market this April.
NEC Australia's NEXTEP DSL wholesale division will speed up the ongoing upgrade of its broadband infrastructure to the ADSL2+ standard as part of an access agreement announced today with Internet service provider People Telecom.
Internet service provider Netspace will follow competitors and start offering broadband customers a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service in the first half of 2006.
WA-based ISP iiNet has announced plans to launch its naked DSL service later this month.
WA based ISP iiNet has launched its naked DSL service today -- where customers can take broadband without an accompanying phone line -- the first of its kind to be made available on a large scale basis in Australia.
Streaker Robert Ogilvie may have learned the hard way that getting naked can be painful, but many other Australians are apparently learning the same lesson as they try to break ties with Telstra once and for all.
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.
It has been a busy year in telecoms, whether because of the increasingly bitter relationship between Telstra and the government; the awarding of the contentious but (finally) progressive broadband contract to OPEL; the pivotal election that led to a change of government; or the move of 3G mobile technology into the mainstream at last.
Somewhere along the line, it became assumed that xDSL technologies -- which run over the last-mile of wiring so tightly controlled by Telstra -- were the only way forward for Australian broadband.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
Australian companies are showing a lot of interest in Voice over IP, yet not many projects are underway. We profile the companies that are ahead of the pack.
They promise low-cost connectivity that could make conventional, expensive WANs a thing of the past. But can roll-your-own Internet VPNs really deliver?
How do you ensure critical Net traffic gets through while less important--and often expensive--traffic is curtailed? Also: What is "packet shaping"?
This is a full-featured home or small business ADSL router that'll comfortably handle all your broadband needs, including Wi-Fi, VoIP and ADSL2+. But don't expect it to be an easy task to set up the advanced features.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
DrayTek's Vigor2820n offers a vast array of features, but you'll pay for them. Make sure you need everything it offers first!
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
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.
