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?
Mobile carrier 3 has made a push to expand its third-generation (3G) mobile coverage, announcing plans to extend its 2100MHz network, and taking the lid off an agreement to use parts of Telstra's 850MHz Next G network for roaming.
Telstra has served Optus with a notice from its legal department this morning questioning the rival telco's ability to provide adequate service for the 3G iPhone, in a calculated move to disrupt the rival telco's 3G iPhone launch.
Mobile carrier Vodafone Australia has confirmed portions of an advance leak of pricing information for its local iPhone 3G launch on Friday morning are accurate.
i-mate and Telstra partner to exclusively release the new Ultimate 8502 and 9502 range of HSUPA capable PDA smartphones.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Keen news readers would have heard about the strong earthquake that rocked south-western Greece on Sunday. Fewer may have realised that the quake was not so much an act of God, as an act of Jobs.

The F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
The TU500 isn't going to win any fashion awards, but underneath its pedestrian skin lurks a highly capable Next G phone.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
