The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) has appointed the OpenNet consortium as the network company (NetCo) for the country's planned next-generation National Broadband Network (NBN).
Broadband consortium Terria has begun a national campaign to raise public awareness about itself and the planned national broadband network, simultaneously lodging a submission to the opposition-led Senate committee enquiry about the network.
Telstra will be forced to keep meticulous records on activities in its telephone exchanges, according to new regulations designed to alleviate complaints by other telcos.
In its regulatory submission this week, Telstra says the new national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) roll-out should not have to interface with current network technologies such as the copper ADSL2+ network, because of impacts on performance.
Optus this week said that although it would bypass telephone exchanges and the ADSL infrastructure within them when building its National Broadband Network, it would do so in an "orderly" manner and guarantee wholesale pricing to ISPs whose assets were made redundant.
