Optus has secured a seven-year managed network services and network refresh deal with Brisbane City Council, leaving incumbent supplier Telstra out of the picture.
Optus yesterday revealed Canadian vendor Nortel, among others, would be a major winner under the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) network and telephony upgrade that has been scheduled as part of its managed services deal with the telco.
The Australian Taxation Office today has confirmed Optus as its managed network services provider in a deal worth $186 million over four years up to $55 million less than previously indicated.
The current obsession with networks based on the Internet Protocol comes with a catch.
Optus and Vodafone will start offering third-generation (3G) mobile phone services in "metropolitan" areas of Perth and Adelaide from 1 July, the telcos said today.
Optus will resell Personal Broadband Australia's iBurst wireless broadband solution, and is in talks with Unwired about a similar deal.
