Telecom rivals Telstra and Cable & Wireless Optus are duelling it out in federal court following allegations that Optus' latest advertising campaign is misleading.
Telstra has launched a flamboyant broadband advertising campaign, which just so happens to coincide with its decision to restrict broadband downloads -- a move that many users say will push them to switch carriers.
Telstra probably knew its Next G advertising campaign was misleading and expected to write it off as the "costs of doing business", according to an IBRS Analyst.
Telstra has withdrawn its appeal against a Court ruling which found that it engaged in "misleading" and "illegal" conduct in its Next G advertising, following a decision by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which disputed claims about the coverage of the network.
Tomorrow Telstra will start pushing out a software update to half a million customers that will allow users to point their phones at a barcode and be directed to a relevant Web page.

So where did Vodafone and Hutchison go wrong and will they fare any better as a combined entity? Telstra's Deena Shiff, Internode's Simon Hackett and analyst Paul Budde discuss the issue in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
The ACCC is concerned that a Vodafone-Hutchison merger will stifle mobile competition, but after new figures reveal systematic deception by carriers it's prudent to ask: could the merger really make things any worse than they already are?
As the NBN bypasses the airwaves and offers a new pipe into 90 per cent of Australia's homes, could long-languishing IPTV services spell the beginning of the end for TV as we know it?
The proposed regulatory reforms ahead of the roll-out of the National Broadband Network rely on a finely balanced carrot and stick approach. But will Telstra cooperate with the government's ultimatum?
For the first time, Kaz chief Mike Foster tells the full story about how the Peter Kazacos' baby was treated within Telstra, and how the deal with Fujitsu went down.
Net neutrality has the superficial attraction of 1960's free love, argues Telstra's Justin Milne, until you realise that one party gets all the gratification while the other bears all the costs.
Analysts have responded to the Federal Government's new NBN strategy with optimism, noting that while risky, the plan makes an important break from years of stagnation and promises an important new foundation for Australia's broadband future.
Telstra-owned Sensis Classifieds, owner of the Trading Post, this week sent a threatening letter to rival OZtion over its use of the word "free to list" on its website.
LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.

The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
