A date for round two of the ongoing legal battle between Telstra and Communications Minister Helen Coonan has been set by the Federal Court..
Telstra this afternoon said it would retrench about 800 staff as it merged its BigPond internet service provider unit with other divisions and established a new content division to be dubbed Telstra Media.
Phil Burgess, Telstra's controversial group managing director of Public Policy and Communications, has announced he will leave his Australian post for good at the end of August.
Optus today announced that it has reached 85 per cent of the population with its 3G network coverage.
Bank of Queensland (BoQ) has selected a new IT head from the ranks of Telstra, with experience in banking, IT services, and telecommunications fields.
Fair is not what the National Broadband Network tender is about; it's bloodsport, and a fight for survival, and a challenge of the wills, and all the other sorts of superlatives you might expect from an Olympics announcer.
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.
A reader suggested a key test to structural separation to compare shareholder return for BT with that of Telstra, providing a presumptive analysis of whether separation was a Good Thing or a Bad Thing. This was a great idea that I had to try.
The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
We've all experienced that irritating feeling upon walking into a nearly empty restaurant, only to see little 'reserved' signs on the empty tables, and to be told by the matre d' that no tables are available even as other people enter and are escorted to their tables.

Ovum's David Kennedy says Australia can have a world-leading telecommunications regime if it wants one.
Most businesses see PowerPoint as the be-all and end-all when it comes to distributing information. As David Braue finds, however, Fone Zone's willingness to look further has paid many benefits.
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.
Telstra's prepaid wireless broadband offering is good for casual browsers or those who'd rather avoid dodgy Net cafes, but beware there's a pricing sting to be considered.

Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
