Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy has released two key documents related to the first National Broadband Network process, which may clear the way for the Senate to debate the three key NBN Bills.
The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has gone to tender for core ICT services and telephony management services contracts which together could be worth over $26 million.
Apple has protested the use of Woolworths' new apple-shaped trademark, which looks similar to the well-known brand image loved by Mac fans worldwide.
Local IT services firm DWS Advanced Business Solutions has retained the contract to support the Australian Taxation Office's e-tax software.
Ericsson Australia's financial picture grew a little bleaker last financial year, with revenues falling $200 million to $805 million roughly $600 million less than its Telstra Next G boon year of 2006, which netted it $1.4 billion.

Joe the Shearer can wait. Telstra is clearly going to roll out its NBN in capital cities first, where the most customers live and, despite Telstra's assertions, many residents already have access to decent broadband.

New Zealand's new Communications Minister Stephen Joyce has the gargantuan task of dragging New Zealand into the next broadband age, a labour which will take 10 years.
Telstra's bid was a total stuff-up and whoever wins the right to build the fibre-to-the-node NBN will be held up by a High Court challenge from Telstra on every conceivable ground.
The Telstra position is eminently defensible; the prospect of structural separation, legal or practical, is so potentially destructive for Telstra and its shareholders that it couldn't be contemplated.

The Australian Computer Museum Society is still without a permanent home for its collection.
The HP Compaq Presario B1801TU, with its lightweight 1.6kg chassis and pleasing battery life would be a great companion for the road warrior, if not for its dismal performance when compared to competing offerings.
Wi-Fi access is a great convenience, but frankly, it's beginning to worry me.
