Victorian energy company SP AusNet announced yesterday that it had chosen Motorola to build a WiMax network to connect the smart meters it is rolling out to 680,000 customers.
Internet advocacy group the Electronic Frontiers Association has welcomed the move to restrict legal network interception to government and law enforcement agencies.
The Federal Government is planning a radical overhaul of telecommunications interception rules, which has some concerned it may be used to force internet service providers (ISP) to inspect customers' online activities.
The HTC Magic will launch with both Vodafone and 3 Mobile, though close inspection reveals the handsets available will differ slightly between the carriers.
