WA based ISP iiNet has launched its naked DSL service today -- where customers can take broadband without an accompanying phone line -- the first of its kind to be made available on a large scale basis in Australia.
The federal government is attempting to suspend parliamentary proceedings to fast-track laws through the House of Representatives to sell its majority stake in Telstra.
Australia's competition watchdog has asked for submissions on whether changes made by Telstra to its wholesale ADSL broadband pricing plans justify removal of a notice alleging the telecommunications company was breaching competition rules.
Australia's top two telecommunications players have loudly touted broadband milestones this week -- but a telecommunications analyst has warned growth in the sector may be curtailed unless an appropriate competition regime is maintained.
It is hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Ziggy Switkowski.
A reader suggested a key test to structural separation to compare shareholder return for BT with that of Telstra, providing a presumptive analysis of whether separation was a Good Thing or a Bad Thing. This was a great idea that I had to try.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Graeme Samuel took Telstra to task this week for not switching on high-speed ADSL2+ broadband nationwide.
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.
Here's a dollop of irony: the best Windows Mobile smartphone has been created by Palm! A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make it the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
The Sagem SG343i is an affordable Telstra i-mode solution that offers a basic yet adequate feature set.
