The federal court today dismissed Telstra's claims that its unions were feeding its employees false and misleading statements.
Communications regulator the ACCC has taken Telstra to court over what it claims are misleading statements contained in advertisements for the telco's Next G network.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan has hit back at Telstra, accusing the telco of sour grapes, after it announced it had filed suit against her over its failed bid for some AU$1 billion of WiMax funding.
Telstra's attempts to challenge the regulatory regime which allows its rivals to access its network were dealt a blow today, after the High Court dismissed a case brought by the telco -- but questions remain over whether the ruling will apply to any future fibre-to-the-node network.
Telstra has lodged a complaint against the Communications Minister Helen Coonan over the funding of the AU$1 billion WiMax network intended to bring broadband to bush users across Australia.
Australian telecoms is increasingly resembling the US during Prohibition, with Telstra as Al Capone and the ACCC as Eliot Ness.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
A guy I know runs a tiling business, which as far as I can see involves his drinking lots of coffee, making lots of phone calls, and making sure that around a dozen different tilers do the actual hard work. As long as they're busy, he's making money. If he finds enough new business to keep them all going for two weeks, he can take off for Hawaii -- and still be making money.
Bill Murray's weeks spent in the purgatory of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania -- depicted in the amusing movie Groundhog Day -- have become a cultural sounding point, mentioned in passing to describe a situation where someone is stuck in the same painful, unresolvable situation day after day.
If there was ever evidence that the stoush over broadband had gotten personal, it came when Telstra's sour-grapes mentality led it to sue Helen Coonan, personally, for claimed procedural flaws in the OPEL contract.
We look at five organisations that took different approaches to satisfying a common business requirement: to improve the management of corporate information. We hear from Jetstar, Family Court, SHFA, Count Wealth and MBF.
Australia's competition regulator has warned it will act to ensure technological innovations that pose a serious threat to Telstra's dominance of the telecommunications sector are not "strangled at birth".
The latest Oracle ruling is just another indication that consolidation, mergers and acquisitions are part and parcel of the business landscape. The underlying issue for customers is this: who controls the destiny of their software?
Australia's peak Internet industry body has upped the ante against unsolicited bulk e-mail senders, a move sparked by lawsuits against spammers in the United States.
E-mail has taken a battering over the last year or so with mountains of spam and viruses delivered to our mailboxes daily. Can the problem be fixed, and can e-mail still be free?
Etiquette expert June Dally-Watkins has warned people to be careful when sending romantic SMS's to loved ones tomorrow as Telstra prepares for an expected 8 million messages to be sent on Valentines Day.
We review more than a dozen mobile phones -- from smart phones and high-end 3G handsets to mobiles for the fashion-conscious.
Despite showing occasional signs of strain, the Internet has become an integral part of all kinds of business and consumer technologies. How will it change in the years ahead to meet with new demands? We identify some key areas to watch out for.
For those organisation who lose hundreds of thousands dollars worth of laptops to thieves each year, the humiliation of the loss is possibly as infuriating a burden to bare as the financial costs associated with it. However these organisations can assuage some of their distress knowing that their problems are shared by one of the world's most powerful law enforcement agencies. In May, thieves reduced the size of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's laptop fleet by 182, in one operation. If the FBI can't keep its laptops safe from thieves who can?
