Internode will spend $10 million upgrading its ADSL2+ infrastructure in a move that will primarily benefit Victorian and Tasmanian customers.
Internet service providers (ISP), mobile telcos, and bidders for the $250 million regional backhaul build have welcomed the launch of the initiative, but questions remain over whether the plan will deliver competition.
Pipe Networks' chief, Bevan Slattery, may have found his "cash-out" door from the company that helped internet service providers snub Telstra, but many of those customers are not happy that a direct competitor could now control it.
Internet service provider Netspace today announced the activation of 10 DSLAMs (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) in Tasmania.
Internode managing director Simon Hackett this week said he had doubts about whether the National Broadband Network would ever be built and questioned whether it was worth the effort.
Is Hackett the Saruman the once-good wizard who is seduced by the dark powers of Sauron of my recent Lord of the Rings scenario? Is something rotten in Renmark and elsewhere?
As the National Broadband Network pricing debate continues, we should consider which is the most appropriate model for costing a bit that costs virtually nothing to carry.
Optus' involvement in the controversial government blacklist project could fall on either side of the fence. In kissing the ring, is Optus conceding that censorship is inevitable or hatching a scheme to discredit Conroy's folly from within?
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.
What if Shell, Caltex, Mobil and all the other petroleum giants decided tomorrow to stop selling unleaded, and announced that they would only manufacture and sell LPG from now on? Telstra's decision to introduce RIM equipment in its Deakin, ACT exchange will have the same effect for its competitors.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
Mike Quigley and Doug Campbell's long-standing relationships with Telstra and few of its rivals will lead Australia's telecommunications industry to question privately whether Telstra will receive a phenomenal level of access to the NBN decision-making processes.
Alcatel-Lucent's optical network terminal (ONT) equipment was not considered suitable for an open access fibre deployment similar to the future NBN roll-out at a greenfield estate in Victoria, according to the project's builder.
2008 was a cracker year for telco in Australia, with so many huge events happening that those at the beginning of the year have been drowned by the importance of those at the end.
