Putting the troubled history of its nowwearetalking website behind it, Telstra has re-launched its efforts to communicate with customers and stakeholders online, focused on a new blogging site dubbed "Telstra Exchange".
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) will investigate whether the Future Fund was "tipped off" over the plan to split Telstra.
Future Fund chief executive Paul Costello yesterday remained tight-lipped in the face of sustained questioning over the fund's stance, as an investor, on the pending legislated separation of Telstra's operations.
The telecommunications industry is abuzz with speculation that the Tasmanian Government is planning to commence building its part of the National Broadband Network in April 2010 to coincide with the state election, with supplier tender documents to be issued this week.
Tasmanians have complained they're being left in the dark over the state's leg of the National Broadband Network (NBN), despite the Federal and Tasmanian Governments insisting construction could start within weeks.
Shareholders got a rude awakening this week as Stephen Conroy made good on industry calls to break up Telstra.

The Rudd Government's decision to build its own broadband network significantly cranks up the threat to Telstra's dominance in the telecommunications sector.
Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo will leave Telstra in a better position than when he arrived in 2005, but his successor will have to manage plenty of difficult legacy issues.
On the same day that the bids for the national broadband network bids were handed into the government, Australia, Baz Luhrman's vain masterpiece was released to the plebs.
Apple has made a push towards enterprise with the release of its SDK roadmap yesterday -- but will enterprise take the bait?
The touchscreen interface and sexier design will be enough to make knees tremble, however, the Viewty's 5-megapixel camera falls short of our expectations.
This is an affordable notebook that should suit anyone looking for a capable, mostly desk-bound system. The webcam is a nice extra, while fingerprint recognition is fast becoming a 'must have' feature for business users.
