Internet service provider Internode this morning announced new symmetrical broadband (SHDSL) pricing as it revealed plans to double the reach of the services for 2010.
Australia's peak scientific research body, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), has put its entire telecommunications infrastructure out to tender.
More than a quarter of people surveyed believe Telstra will assume control of the $43 billion National Broadband Network (NBN).
A telecommunications analyst from investment advisory service, BBY, has labelled the government's $43 billion NBN plan "as risky as it gets" and said it will fail to attract investors in the current information vacuum.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has called for tenders to build the $250 million backhaul telecommunications links, which target six regional centres in all states and territories except Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory.
Telstra and TransACT will shortly begin offering 100Mbps broadband to many customers. By moving early, the companies have not only raised the bar for Australia's broadband services, but thrown down a challenge to a government that now faces increased pressure to deliver the NBN as promised.
Will WiMax ever get a stronghold in Australia? The answer, it seems, depends on who you ask. This week's Twisted Wire puts the question to those in the know.
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
Rejecting Telstra's proposal, after all, is the only conclusion Conroy can reach: as someone whose entire philosophy is built around transparency and process, he simply cannot keep Telstra as part of the NBN bidding process anymore.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
IBRS advisor Guy Cranswick argues that the use of net neutrality is an aggressive manoeuvre to retain market share and withhold change in the telecommunications market.
Optus CEO Paul O'Sullivan had it right when he said that the new National Broadband Network would be a commercial failure unless there was only one network that included Telstra's fixed-line assets.
If the sale of the SingTel Optus HFC network to the National Broadband Network Company goes ahead, it could mark the first significant strategic victory by the company since it lost the cable wars a decade ago.
Firewalls have come a long way since we last looked at them in 2005, and have now become full-blown Unified Threat Management devices. We take a look at the top players.
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Graeme Samuel took Telstra to task this week for not switching on high-speed ADSL2+ broadband nationwide.

It's no secret that Palm's been struggling to keep up with the competition and has come under heavy criticism for its lack of innovation and delays in releasing its new operating system. So can you blame us for thinking that Palm might disappoint again?
