The Office of the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) released figures yesterday on the number of complaints about telecommunications providers -- with some undesired results for ISPs.
Telstra has made the wireless communications solution Blackberry available over its CDMA network, extending the service beyond its relatively limited GSM network.
Telstra has lauded the Northern Territory government's decision to put to tender the AU$25 million Advanced Communication Strategy (ACS) contract for delivery of services to government departments.
Is it the technology you can't do without or an expense you don't need? We examine the alternatives, pitfalls, myths, and benefits.
Telstra will switch on over 200 remote ADSL exchanges after a funding stoush between the government and the telco was resolved.
The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
If there's fibre running to the node down my street by the end of 2009, I'll eat my own shoes with mustard sauce.
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
With all the excitement over the iPhone, few people have noticed that 1 July was the 11th anniversary of the deregulation of Australia's telecommunications market.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
HTC has announced the Australian availability of the Touch Diamond in Sydney today, with the phone set to hit these shores between the end of July and early August.
An analysis by representatives of Australia's two largest IT industry groups shows that neither political party in the federal election has come up with a comprehensive policy around technology.
If the world's homes are to enjoy the same high speed connectivity as its offices, the current thinking goes, then fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) will soon become necessary. However, not all Internet economies were created equal.
The thriving community of Internet users that are opting for a 'Second Life' in virtual worlds are a tempting market for advertising. But is a virtual presence a viable option for big business?
Communications Minister Senator Helen Coonan yesterday defended Australia's national telecommunications regulatory regime.
Telstra's wireless CDMA 1x network is for Australian road warriors who don't mind paying big bucks for maximum mobility.
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
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.
Telstra has unveiled an upgrade to its Next G mobile high-speed data network that it claims has delivered download speeds of up to 2.3Mbps at a range of 200km.
