Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo announced this morning that the company has lodged its AU$5 million tender bond for the national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network.
In what the telco likens to a B-grade movie, Telstra says its rivals have forgotten about the goals of the National Broadband Network (NBN) and are instead using it and the government to gain market advantage and tear the incumbent apart.
The Federal government has issued a reminder notice to stakeholders in the national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network, as the deadline for submissions on the project nears.
A group of nine ISPs sent a letter to the ACCC accusing the telco of stifling competition and urging the regulator to throw its full force behind an investigation.
Telstra has settled a class action lawsuit brought by law firm Slater and Gordon on behalf of the telco's shareholders for AU$5 million.
It's hardly news that Telstra's corporate philosophy has become one of incessant whinging and strongarming since CEO Sol Trujillo rolled into town, but over the past week the company took its rhetoric to another level ...
Hopefully, you've been spending your end-of-year break better than the executives at Optus, who seem to have taken advantage of the annual industry-wide lull to get onetime WiMax aspirant Austar United Telecommunications to the negotiating table.
Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.
For no particular reason that I can discern, a 1979 Kenny Rogers song popped into my head as I was considering the ever more complex morass that is the national broadband network tender which Senator Stephen Conroy defended in his CeBIT keynote speech.
Ovum's David Kennedy says Australia can have a world-leading telecommunications regime if it wants one.
We look at five organisations that took different approaches to satisfying a common business requirement: to improve the management of corporate information. We hear from Jetstar, Family Court, SHFA, Count Wealth and MBF.
Federal Government plans to introduce ISP-level filtering to provide a 'safer' internet experience for Australian families are likely to be met with significant resistance from within the ISP community.
Telstra's bombastic public policy chief Phil Burgess has peppered the Australian public with vitriolic and memorable quotes since his ascension to the role in July 2005. From whether his mother should buy Telstra shares to Darryl Kerrigan in the castle, Dr Phil had it all. We've collated some of the best.
When the government announced that Optus and Elders had won the bid to build Australia's bush broadband network, it provoked jeers and plaudits alike, but it was the ISPs' choice of WiMax as the bearer technology that has provoked the most furious storm of argument. Just how will the technology stand up to life in the bush?
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
Secrecy seems to shroud the data centre arena -- all well and good for security's sake, but not so great when trying to pick a provider. We pull back the curtains to find what data centre options exist in Australia.

Choosing a portable computing device is getting trickier -- we take a variety of devices for a spin and weight up the pros and cons.
For those organisation who lose hundreds of thousands dollars worth of laptops to thieves each year, the humiliation of the loss is possibly as infuriating a burden to bare as the financial costs associated with it. However these organisations can assuage some of their distress knowing that their problems are shared by one of the world's most powerful law enforcement agencies. In May, thieves reduced the size of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's laptop fleet by 182, in one operation. If the FBI can't keep its laptops safe from thieves who can?
