The South Australian government has named the six telcos which will be on its telecommunications services panel, singling out Telstra as the supplier of its mobile services for the next three years.

St George Bank has renewed its five-year, AU$100 million contract with Optus for its communications services including voice, data and mobile.
Telstra has announced today that it plans to release a $0 upfront laptop and broadband package for consumers and small business, but the inviting initial price tag belies the real cost of the deal.
Australian customers' discontent with telecommunications services has risen according to the latest annual report card from the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman.
