Internet Service Provider Internode has thrown a lifeline to thousands of Easymail customers who will be stranded when Telstra dumps the service next month, thrusting the telco titan into a somewhat selfish light.
In the same way that budget airlines shook up the commercial aviation industry, Internet access providers may well take the wind out of the dial-up access market. ZDNet Australia investigates.
The nation's third-largest Internet service provider has ended its protest over Telstra's wholesale ADSL prices and has started signing up customers in regional areas again.
EFTel has bought aaNet in a deal heralding further consolidation among the ranks of Internet service providers.

Add two more Oz telecomms bloggers to the list: AAPT's regulatory affairs chieftan David Havyatt, and Optus/Cisco/everywhere veteran Laurel Papworth.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
It's been an exceptionally busy period for the nation's largest Internet service provider, but all for the wrong reasons.
iiNet and Telstra seem to be at loggerheads but the real culprit, according to the telco giant, is the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
Telstra plans to launch in the next few days a mini help-desk software tool for its BigPond Internet customer base as part of its AU$100 million package to shore up its Internet service provider arm.
Competition should drive more affordable products and services unless you're Telstra where "the only way is up" seems to be its motto.

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?
The Internet is in the process of taking over our lives, so if you aren't connected, maybe it is time you were.
