Australia's telecommunications companies have taken a step forward to boosting multimedia messaging between mobile phones, with the signing of an interconnect agreement between Vodafone and Telstra.
Telstra is understood to be in negotiations with reseller WebPoint over a deal which could see thousands of new Web-enabled pay telephones implemented Australia-wide over the next one or two years.
Christmas is a time for glitz, but what if a demand for interactive Web sites, flashing e-mail cards, whizz-bang presentations, and all things multimedia suddenly falls at IT's door?
BlackBerry has brought its latest consumer focused offering to Australia -- but don't expect an iPhone-style touchscreen input anytime soon.
Telstra announced today its acquisition of business solutions provider Damovo Australia for an agreed enterprise value of AU$64.3 million.
The mobile market in India, I recently learned, is racing towards 300 million -- and doing so at a rate of 8.77 million new subscribers per month, according to the latest government figures.
Telcos would love to shift the cost of expanding mobile network coverage to customers with femtocells, but are they a good idea for customers?
If there ever was an opportunity for a broadcaster to showcase the potential of internet video, this was it, and Seven has blown it. Perhaps its executives should have rung their mates at NBC in the US and gotten some pointers on online coverage.
If Telstra is serious about engaging with the Federal Government over the National Broadband Network it should immediately start the work needed to break itself in two.
The new interactive Telstra "flagship" store will be open from 2 November. Dubbed T.Life, the store is located at 400 George Street, on the corner of George and King on the group floor of the Telstra building.
Most businesses see PowerPoint as the be-all and end-all when it comes to distributing information. As David Braue finds, however, Fone Zone's willingness to look further has paid many benefits.
Telstra's negotiation with Optus for cheaper wholesale copper network access was an exercise in protecting its assets, said veteran telecommunications analyst Paul Budde, who claimed the deal would actually lessen competition.
What will 2009 hold for Australia's ICT industry? We asked dozens of local leaders for their predictions; and this is what they came up with.
Recently I asked how many of you still use a telephone line to connect to the Internet. The result? Plenty of you still use the good old standby, the dial-up modem. That wasn't really a surprise, although from what you read in magazines and on Web sites you'd think everyone already had a broadband connection.
The TU500 isn't going to win any fashion awards, but underneath its pedestrian skin lurks a highly capable Next G phone.
The F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
