2007 saw millions of innovations shoot from the minds of tech heads into the world of reality -- here are a few ZDNet Australia thought were pretty cool.
Last week, Microsoft announced its plans for two new online services: Windows Live and Office Live. However, it is clear that Microsoft sees more work ahead as it tries to catch up with rivals offering free, ad-supported products. Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie, who is leading the services push, outlined the challenge in a memo he penned late last month.
Telstra BigPond has released its range of "new, cheaper, simplified" broadband Internet plans after keeping mum on speculation on pre-Christmas changes.
Telstra has released a series of new broadband plans as the telco aims to sharpen its offerings in the ultra-competitive sector.
Telstra's internet services suffered a nationwide outage this morning for around one hour, according to its spokesperson.
Five consecutive days without broadband has led me to what seemed at the time to be an act of desperation: contemplating signing up for Telstra's 100Mbps cable modem service.
As we know, farmers are such bleaters. They bleat as much as the four-legged woolly things in their paddocks. If it's not the weather, it's the strength of the dollar! Nothing is ever right. Likewise with rural broadband.
One year into its tenure, how has the new New Zealand Government performed on issues of technology and telecommunications?
Next month the Senate Select Committee on the NBN will table its final report. It will reflect the views of 100 or so submitted documents and a series of public hearings.

In his role as Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo is the most talked about and controversial telecommunications executive in Australia. ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Trujillo during a recent trip to the US to quiz him about wireless and handsets.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but Australian utilities' recent abandonment of broadband over powerline (BPL) technology has all but sealed the fate of a technology that was once hoped to bring high-speed data to every corner of Australia.
Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
3's new mobile broadband card is almost a no-brainer: It sprints along on 3's current 3G network and will kick into overdrive following the 3.6Mbps HSDPA network overhaul, slips into notebook ExpessCard and PC Card slots and to top it off, has exceptional pricing plans.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
