Mobile carrier Vodafone Australia has confirmed portions of an advance leak of pricing information for its local iPhone 3G launch on Friday morning are accurate.
TelstraClear has turned from a loss to a profit but it still only contributed NZ$7.5 million to its parent's $A6.23 billion annual operating profit.
Broadband prices under a Telstra-owned national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network could rise by up to 15 per cent, a report commissioned by the Competitive Carriers Coalition (CCC) has concluded.
Regulatory submissions to the federal government's AU$4.7 billion national broadband network mostly only paid lip service to the complications and risks of separation in the telecommunications industry, analyst firm Ovum said today.
Optus has announced it will hold a launch party for Apple's iPhone starting from 10pm on Thursday night in its George St, Sydney store.
As expected, Senator Stephen Conroy -- who made a career out of picking holes in the actions of his predecessor Helen Coonan -- was named to Kevin Rudd's front bench, bearing the interesting new title of Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (BCDE).
