Telstra has now added the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer to its roster of Next G device suppliers, as it tries to encourage users to switch off from CDMA.
Just how good will the reception be on Telstra's Next G mobile network?
Communications regulator the ACCC has taken Telstra to court over what it claims are misleading statements contained in advertisements for the telco's Next G network.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan has hit back at Telstra, accusing the telco of sour grapes, after it announced it had filed suit against her over its failed bid for some AU$1 billion of WiMax funding.
Australia's communications regulator will carry out its testing overwhelmingly in the populous eastern states, particularly New South Wales, as it judges whether Telstra's new national 3G mobile network provides equal coverage to the previous CDMA one.
For all the horror stories of farmers left stranded by the shutdown of the CDMA network, there are plenty of success stories.
Last week, a family friend rang for some technical help. "Telstra sold me this wireless Internet service and they promised it would work both at my home and at my office," he said. Said home is in the Melbourne CBD, and said office is in Kyneton, a lovely town about an hour away from Melbourne.
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.
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.
Will the Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee's report linger as simply yet another ineffectual review guiding limp and ineffectual efforts to improve regional services?
Independent video series Two-Minute Mobile satirises Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo's time so far at the top of Australia's largest telco in this short film.
With Telstra set to shut off its CDMA network we want to hear your comments and your experiences with the switch over to the Next G network.
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.
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?
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
On this episode of Planet CNET, we experience weightlessness, dissect a thousand dollar mobile phone and willingly wear spandex on camera.
Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
The Z750i has spunky looks and a decent interface, but Telstra has shoved in a few naff features that either don't work or don't make sense.
