Within a month of the birth of Channel Seven's WiMax internet service provider, vividwireless, Telstra had welcomed it with "cease and desist" letters over its use of the term "4G".
Telstra was in the Federal Court last week to fight having to pay an employee's two fees for making an emergency call on a public holiday.
The Federal Government is extremely likely to be forced into a legal battle with Telstra after kicking the telco out of the National Broadband Network bidding process, according to numerous industry onlookers.
Telstra has withdrawn its appeal against a Court ruling which found that it engaged in "misleading" and "illegal" conduct in its Next G advertising, following a decision by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which disputed claims about the coverage of the network.
Telstra will disclose thousands of its execs' private e-mails in the ongoing legal scrap between the telco and the Federal Communications Minister.
Virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry has their say in the Senate Standing Committee's public hearing into the pending legislation to split up Telstra, in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
Now that Minister Stephen Conroy has played his hand regarding Telstra's separation, the hard part begins.
So how did Twisted Wire suddenly change into a game show, albeit for just one episode? It's engineers vs. marketeers at 20 paces.
Is the government manoeuvring towards a structural separation of Telstra?
Around one third of Australia's telcos have shut their doors over time, but that isn't stopping new ventures hoping to chip away at carriers' mobile call bonanza. By fighting carriers at the smartphone rather than the home phone, could the latest two contenders be onto something big?
The proposed regulatory reforms ahead of the roll-out of the National Broadband Network rely on a finely balanced carrot and stick approach. But will Telstra cooperate with the government's ultimatum?
For the first time, Kaz chief Mike Foster tells the full story about how the Peter Kazacos' baby was treated within Telstra, and how the deal with Fujitsu went down.
The Federal Government's preferred National Broadband Network partner is due to be nominated shortly. As that moment looms, and Stephen Conroy's language becomes more aggressive, Telstra's share price has been imploding.
Former Optus executive Paul Fletcher's book "Wired Brown Land? Telstra's Battle for Broadband" details the history of broadband communication in our nation and highlights why it is impossible that Telstra will give up in its fight for dominance, despite the wounds it has recently taken.
Opinion: Conroy should end this futile tender process. Call Telstra's McGauchie and his executives in and read them the riot act. Appoint someone with appropriate credentials and resources not some panel to then negotiate a commercial deal on behalf of taxpayers.
Modem manufacturer D-Link had been distributing one of its ADSL modems to some of Telstra's largest wholesale customers without the carrier's interoperability certification for around four months.
For the beige retail PC industry, there is a dark side to the idea of a PC as a whitegoods purchase.
Legal music downloads in Australia are expensive, files are restrictive, catalogues are small and music lovers are better off finding their favourite bands in a record store.
Buying and selling a home is one of the most important things you'll ever do -- wouldn't it be nice then, to take total control of the situation? The new FSBO (For Sale By Owner) Private Sale System is made for people who want to sell their homes privately, without relying on a real estate agent.
