Not content with being a mobile provider, Vodafone has now decided to start offering fixed line broadband and voice services.
Vodafone New Zealand has launched a new "dollar-a-day" mobile broadband service, but the carrier's Australian office has told users not to hold their breath for a similar deal here.
Unwired and Telstra today both revamped their wireless broadband plans: in the same week that Optus and Virgin unleashed new wireless offerings.
Vodafone has announced a New Year's resolution that will be music to the ears of long-suffering regional mobile phone users -- promising to spend up to AU$500 million on a next generation mobile broadband network that will cover some 95 percent of the Australian population by Christmas 2008.
3 has slashed the cost of its mobile data packages in time for Christmas, which now puts the carrier in line with rivals Vodafone and Optus, both of which announced similar deals last week.
As Christmas roars in upon us and the Rudds, Trujillos, and Conroys of the world hang their Christmas stockings, everybody is casting an eye to 2008 and the changes it will bring.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
After the government threw its hat in the ring over WiMax, friends and foes of the technology have been frothing at the mouth to deliver a natty sound bite on why the standard is the wireless equivalent of a cold sore or the saviour of all things broadband. Vodafone has now announced it's sleeping with enemy and joining the WiMax Forum. Who's the winner here?
The mobile market in India, I recently learned, is racing towards 300 million -- and doing so at a rate of 8.77 million new subscribers per month, according to the latest government figures.
Tis the season to be jolly, to give, to receive, to have a sherry or two and fall asleep in front of the telly. And, if you're a mobile network operator, it's definitely the season to share.
Mobile broadband is taking a price dive this Christmas, with Vodafone and Optus trotting out low priced plans with high download quotas. But Telstra says its competitors' networks are too slow and offer limited coverage.
Cutting costs by deploying Linux is a well-established strategy on the server and even the desktop, but what effect could it have on the cost of mobile computing?
In this CIO Vision Series interview, Wybrow explains how he fosters a culture of innovation against a backdrop of IT consolidation and outsourcing across Vodafone's mobile communications empire and 4,000-strong global IT workforce.
Telstra's bombastic public policy chief Phil Burgess has peppered the Australian public with vitriolic and memorable quotes since his ascension to the role in July 2005. From whether his mother should buy Telstra shares to Darryl Kerrigan in the castle, Dr Phil had it all. We've collated some of the best.
After we published a list of the funniest and most biting public comments by Telstra's bombastic public policy chief Phil Burgess last week, a number of ZDNet.com.au readers wrote in suggesting more.
High-speed mobile broadband has arrived! We compare Telstra's BigPond Wireless Next G service with Vodafone's HSDPA-enhanced 3G network.
Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' -- but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.
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.
Aggressive pricing, a slice of speed-boosting tech and a tempting 'unlimited' downloads plan puts Vodafone in pole position in the race for 3G datacard customers.
The i-Burst venture is on track to deliver planned wireless broadband services at prices competitive with existing DSL offerings after securing new investments totalling AU$14 million.
