If analyst group CEG speaks on behalf of Optus, it looks likes we can assume the carrier has given up on its chances of winning the coveted NBN (national broadband network) tender being considered by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy has hit back at criticism the government's fibre-to-the-node tender documents are far too light on detail, saying they were designed that way.
The Asian arm of one of Europe's largest telcos, Deutsche Telekom, has announced it may join the race to build Australia's urban fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network.
Regional authorities are begging the federal government to extend the scope of Australia's fibre-to-the-node network (FTTN), fearing remote areas will be left behind as high speed broadband spreads to metropolitan areas.
No conclusion has been reached yet in talks between the nation's competition regulator and Telstra about the regulatory framework which would apply to the telco's planned AU$3 billion fibre to the node network, but public consultation on the issue is planned for later this year.
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.
Why are the Poms getting uncapped ADSL broadband speeds from Telstra while Australians are stuck with speeds of just 1.5Mbps?
Ovum's David Kennedy says Australia can have a world-leading telecommunications regime if it wants one.
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
