Unless one side or another decides to appeal, Friday's decision could mark the final chapter in a case once said to be a definitive one for antitrust law in the 21st century.
Federak Communications Minister Conroy has named the government's AU$4.7 billion national broadband network as the reason for an apparent lack of action on the universal service obligation (USO) review.
Western Australia's Department of Education and Training has inked a five-year, $35 million deal with Optus subsidiary Alphawest to supply Cisco networking hardware to schools around the state.
Optus believes that Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's decision to scrap plans for an AU$1 billion WiMax network, set to be built by Optus-Elders (OPEL), was "flawed" and the telco has left the door open for legal action.
Telecom New Zealand today said it was considering integrating wideband 850MHz technology into its mobile network.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.

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.
From faulty satellites nearly causing World War III to the Millennium Bug, poorly executed IT has had a lot to answer for over the years
Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it. But like most decisions based on emotion, buying one may not be the smartest thing to do at least, not yet.
