Second tier telco PowerTel is hoping to significantly increase its broadband subscriber base over the coming 18 months by spending almost AU$10 million expanding its network infrastructure.
A strong demand for peering services between ISPs has seen Internet peering facilitator PIPE Networks expand its Brisbane operations into four additional Australian cities.
Perth-based Internet service provider (ISP) Westnet has tested equipment from four or five networking vendors as it considers rolling out its own ADSL2+ network.
iiNet's financial woes may prove to be a blessing in disguise to the Australian public, as the troubled telco opens its extensive broadband network to rivals.
Technical issues specific to Powertel's network have temporarily prevented the business-focused telco from installing Chinese networking vendor Huawei's DSLAM equipment.
