The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has issued its telecommunications consumer protection guidelines in response to calls for a simpler set of rules for telcos and users alike.
ACMA has announced that it will be adopting a new regulatory framework to govern VoIP in Australia.
Telecoms industry body the Communications Alliance has called on the government to support a lighter regulatory touch for broadband.
The Office of the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) released figures yesterday on the number of complaints about telecommunications providers -- with some undesired results for ISPs.
Australia's IT execs believe that a fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) deployment is necessary to bolster the country's wealth -- but most believe there won't be a resolution to the fibre question any time soon.
Will the NBN provide a boom for local application developers? If so, have we got enough local expertise to develop these applications? A visit to many government department websites will show how poor the user experience can be. With the new network will we just get more frustrated quicker?
Is the NBN announcement a good thing? The industry at large seems to say yes. The Opposition is less sold on the idea, as you'll hear from Nick Minchin.
