From tomorrow, broadband provider Internode will offer 3G mobile broadband via a resale agreement with the nation's number two telco Optus.
Optus this morning announced it would offer naked DSL broadband plans, as well as broadband offerings provided on a "month-to-month" basis.

Virgin Media has launched a 50Mbps cable broadband service in the UK.
Telecom New Zealand yesterday launched its new XT 3G mobile network at a ritzy event in Auckland. But the network hasn't gone live yet, which is likely due to new hardware being installed to curb interference that is causing rival Vodafone a headache.
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
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.

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?

iiNet CEO Michael Malone talks about how successful the ISP's naked DSL service has been since it was launched in December.
One of the best things about Australia's number three broadband provider iiNet, is that the company is a disruptive influence on the market, according to its CTO Greg Bader.
