Telstra's music download Web site, BigPondMusic.com has signed a deal with an Australian based music distributor, giving the company access to over 3,000 independent labels globally.
Telstra claims it wants to adhere to Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy's request for details about its network infrastructure but will not yet do so because it is worried the information will help terrorists and threaten national security.
Telstra will disclose thousands of its execs' private e-mails in the ongoing legal scrap between the telco and the Federal Communications Minister.
Optus has threatened to pull out of the fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) tender process unless the government approves operational separation for Telstra and a delay to the bid deadline, while Telstra has threatened to withdraw if it does.
A high level Telstra executive has labelled other potential bidders for the proposed FTTN network as "pretenders" after it was revealed the telco suggested to the government that it attach a multi-million dollar application fee and bond to all its network tender requests.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
