Australian organisations are warming up to IP telephony, according to a recent survey conducted by the global market advisory firm IDC Australia. The survey showed over half of medium to large companies will implement the technology by 2007.

ACMA has announced that it will be adopting a new regulatory framework to govern VoIP in Australia.
