Optus is beefing up its GSM network with a AU$20 million investment in the federal electorates of Indi, Riverina and Farrer.
Telstra has moved to buttress its claims that it delivers high-quality services to the bush with the release of a new report citing improvements in infrastructure and reach.
The Federal Government has welcomed a AU$10 million investment into regional broadband by Telstra, saying it addressed a number of concerns raised by a recent inquiry into telecommunications services to rural and regional Australia.
Ever wondered if your ISP's coverage is exactly what they promised? The government has released its latest state of the nation report into Australia's broadband -- and consumers can see exactly what they're getting.
Telstra's plans to switch on ADSL2+ across 900 exchanges throughout the country may have a substantial destabilising effect on the communications market, and alter the national carriers relationship with government and regulators, according to a report.
In telecoms, Telstra is no 800 pound gorilla. It's an 800 pound colic-ridden infant, irritably throwing its toys out of the pram when it doesn't get its own way.
It's hardly news that Telstra's corporate philosophy has become one of incessant whinging and strongarming since CEO Sol Trujillo rolled into town, but over the past week the company took its rhetoric to another level ...
With a fierce battle raging over Australia's broadband future and how bush users should be connected, regulators have weighed in to produce a state of nation report into the country's communications infrastructure and how well consumers are being served by their providers.
When the government announced that Optus and Elders had won the bid to build Australia's bush broadband network, it provoked jeers and plaudits alike, but it was the ISPs' choice of WiMax as the bearer technology that has provoked the most furious storm of argument. Just how will the technology stand up to life in the bush?
