ALP communications spokesperson Stephen Conroy has said that if a Labor government is elected, it will mean a fresh start in the relationship between the government and Australia's telcos.
Are Australia's telcos a pack of fibbers or are they just bending the truth?
With an election looming, regional broadband has once again found itself at the centre of a political battle -- this time, it's the Northern Territory's turn for a war of words.
Was 2007 a good year for Telstra? Possibly. Was it a good year for Telstra's lawyers? Definitely.
The phony war is over, the real battle is now on -- the government's expert taskforce has published its full list of guidelines that would-be bidders for Australia's urban high speed broadband network will need to abide by.
What a difference a decade makes.
There's something immensely gratifying about accomplishing the seemingly impossible -- particularly in IT, where pundits regularly proclaim that a particular technology has hit its physical limits.
Australian telecoms is increasingly resembling the US during Prohibition, with Telstra as Al Capone and the ACCC as Eliot Ness.
In the broadband war, it seems, everyone has an opinion and those with a vested interest are playing fast and loose with the truth.
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
