Singapore Telecommunications, its regional affiliates and Sun Microsystems have launched a month-long competition to uncover the best mobile Java-based applications.
Mike Quigley, NBN Co's chief executive, has outlined his six-month plan for the wholesale telco, covering tenders, headquarters, pricing and its likely headcount of 1000 staff.
Australia's newest telco chief's first media briefing was uneventful even bland thanks to him being trotted out on the day of the biggest bang in telecommunications since Sol Trujillo's departure from Telstra.
Telstra announced today that newly appointed CEO David Thodey had already taken up the mantle of CEO after the outgoing head Sol Trujillo left before his scheduled June departure date.
At Telstra's annual general meeting today, the telco's chief executive David Thodey today said it was facing challenging times as it sought to leverage its position as a "great Australian company" in the face of proposed legislation to split up its operations.
What's next for AAPT? Australia's number three telco refused to join Twisted Wire this week, so we decided to cover them anyway, guerrilla-style.
In a massive "special edition" of our telco podcast Twisted Wire, we talk to virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry about the break-up of Telstra, including man of the moment, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy.
The fact that Australia won't be represented at either of the globe's pre-eminent showcases for emerging tech companies should be considered a national disgrace.
Smack down: it seems the Independent Oversight Group (IOG) set up to keep an eye on Telecom NZ's regulatory undertakings as part of the operational separation of its business takes its task seriously.
Do the boards of IT companies deliberate extra carefully before making a deal with government for fear of having their name pulled through the dirt when they stuff up?
We can now conclude that Telstra went backwards during the Trujillo era, and that the board's decision in June 2005 to sack Ziggy Switkowski and install a team of expensive Americans to run the company was a mistake.
It is clear that Trujillo's frenetic period at the helm of Telstra is drawing to a close and he is likely to be gone (of his own volition) before the end of the year.
There is no debating, a good boss can either make or break you. Do you have an experience with a boss (from hell) that you would like to share?
There is no single candidate right now better suited to succeed Sol Trujillo as Telstra chief executive than the telco's current consumer marketing and channels chief David Moffatt.
Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo's successor will need to make conciliatory gestures towards the government and reconsider the company's strategy to remain relevant, analysts have concluded in the wake of this morning's announcement that Trujillo will depart the company on June 30.
What do Telstra shareholders think of the telco's new CEO David Thodey? And would they support the government's plan to separate Telstra? ZDNet.com.au asked shareholders these questions at the company's annual general meeting this week.
Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) will postpone the award of contracts for the construction and development of its third generation (3G) mobile network.
Hutchison Telecoms, which owns Orange, has outsourced the operation of its Australian mobile networks to Ericsson Australia in a seven-year deal that is expected to save the telco over AU$40 million.
Hutchison launched its '3' mobile service in Australia today, unveiling an aggressive pricing scheme which could possibly lead to a price war.
Too-high prices, a lack of applications and carrier-imposed content restrictions may doom Australian WAP -- touted as the global mobile market's next big thing -- to be nothing more than a pricey "toy". Say it ain't so.
