Interest in Voice over Internet Protocol technology has reached fever pitch amongst Australian businesses, an Optus survey claims, but competing research by Pacific Internet suggests otherwise.
Optus this morning announced it would offer naked DSL broadband plans, as well as broadband offerings provided on a "month-to-month" basis.
Telecommunications player Primus Telecom today conceded 10 percent of its 1,000-strong workforce in Australia was being axed due to an organisational restructure of permanent and casual staff.
The number of businesses deploying DSL has almost doubled in the last year, and nine out of ten customers are happy with their ISP, according to a survey by IDC.
Optus has today unveiled a new Voice over IP (VoIP) solution for the small- to medium-sized business market.
Streaker Robert Ogilvie may have learned the hard way that getting naked can be painful, but many other Australians are apparently learning the same lesson as they try to break ties with Telstra once and for all.
Somewhere along the line, it became assumed that xDSL technologies -- which run over the last-mile of wiring so tightly controlled by Telstra -- were the only way forward for Australian broadband.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
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?
They promise low-cost connectivity that could make conventional, expensive WANs a thing of the past. But can roll-your-own Internet VPNs really deliver?
Running a virtual private network can save you money on leased lines, but can also create a lot of work. Can managed VPN services save you the trouble?
The network services business in Australia is hotting up. In this report, Dimension Data's Steve Nola throws down the gauntlet to Vanco's Grant Ellison.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
