AAPT has announced its first major customer deal since acquiring wholesale network provider Powertel in May, extending its relationship with hosting company Macquarie Telecom in an agreement worth AU$100 million a year.
Telstra has published a response to the G9 consortium's fibre-to-the-node proposal, calling it an expensive and dangerous proposal that "imposes a tortured, dysfunctional ownership and management structure"
With a battle ahead to build Australia's fibre-to-the-node infrastructure, Optus has warned the government that the new network should not come at too high a price.
A proposal floated today by Telstra's major competitors to upgrade the nation's broadband infrastructure would see up to six million addresses wired for ADSL2+ broadband -- two million more than Telstra's own plan.
Can the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission "help" Telstra's competitors?
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.
ACCC officials with glasses of wine, a golden medal for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and a few faux pas: the annual awards night of the Australian Telecommunications Users Group (ATUG) had it all.
