Telstra has criticised the federal government for handing over taxpayers' money to a foreign-owned rival with unproven broadband technology to supply rural Australia with high-speed Internet access.
Following an independent audit by KPMG on the two major carriage service providers (CSPs), the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) has agreed to monitor the use of mass service disruption declarations (MSDs) by Telstra and Optus.
The Australian Communications Authority today cautiously lauded Telstra's report on the performance of its fixed-line telephone network, but cautioned that it would be examining data for any "persistent reliability issues".
Telstra will not support laws banning the use of mobile phone hands-free kits in vehicles, ignoring concerns of safety advocates who point to research showing they don't provide a safe alternative to holding a phone while driving.
NSW electricity carrier TransGrid has signed a deal for the supply of SDH fibre-optic networking equipment and deployment services in a move which could increase the availability of broadband services to rural areas.
