Communications Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy has ordered an inquiry into international mobile roaming charges, following attempts by the EU to regulate prices for cross-country calls.
Telstra's plans to switch on ADSL2+ across 900 exchanges throughout the country may have a substantial destabilising effect on the communications market, and alter the national carriers relationship with government and regulators, according to a report.
With a battle ahead to build Australia's fibre-to-the-node infrastructure, Optus has warned the government that the new network should not come at too high a price.
The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) has announced a new board of directors who it says will be leading the ICT business community throughout the next 12 months.

Much has been made of Telstra's decision to finally stop holding Australia to ransom, and to actually turn on the ADSL2+ equipment it has installed in what is apparently over 900 of its exchanges around the country.
