Can ISPs and CLECs bury the hatchet long enough to share in the predicted US$81 billion business broadband market come 2005?
As Yahoo in the US gears up for the introduction of a high-speed Internet service with telco giant SBC Communications, the portal's Australian arm is keeping its eyes open for similar revenue diversification opportunities.
After a recent attack, I found out some interesting things about protecting my network from the vulnerabilities of open ports.
There were plenty of hot issues in 2001 and no shortage of good quotes to go along with them. ZDNet Australia has compiled the funniest, most ironic and sometimes downright ridiculous quotable quotes delivered by IT mouthpieces in 2001.
The US$6.7 billion merger seemed to be on the right track, but what happened? Many blame management blunders for the company's roller-coaster plunge toward the brink of insolvency.
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
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.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
Thirty or so years since the birth of the Internet, we seem to be at a technological standstill when it comes to access speeds and bandwidth. If it is meant to be a superhighway, why does it feel like a back road?
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
If the world's homes are to enjoy the same high speed connectivity as its offices, the current thinking goes, then fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) will soon become necessary. However, not all Internet economies were created equal.
Australia's first pure wireless Internet service provider launched its commercial broadband Internet service in Sydney today, claiming full independence from Telstra-owned telephony infrastructure.
iiNet's CTO Greg Bader admits that Naked DSL is 'one of the hardest products to get connected to' because it is beyond the ISPs control. He also admits to 'not having much joy' working with Telstra in making the switching process simpler.
NetComm have offered a small scale DSLAM designed for hotels, serviced apartments or serviced offices. We found it to be a very robust device which is easy to deploy and manage.
Telstra Country Wide has announced a AU$231 million investment in 2003/04 to improve services to regional areas.
If your DSL connection is on the fritz, don't just sit around cursing your ISP. Consult these troubleshooting tips instead.
The D-Link DI-701 hardware device acts as a buffer between your computer and the Net, and additionally lets you share the broadband connection with the other machines in an office or home network environment.
Recently I asked how many of you still use a telephone line to connect to the Internet. The result? Plenty of you still use the good old standby, the dial-up modem. That wasn't really a surprise, although from what you read in magazines and on Web sites you'd think everyone already had a broadband connection.
