The Seven Network has revealed that it plans to expand its vividwireless 4G wireless broadband network to most of Australia's capital cities, following the network's construction in Perth.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has defended Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's role in helping a Labor powerbroker land a plum job with the national broadband network.
The nation's number two telco Optus today said it was on schedule to upgrade the speed of its hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) cable network in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to 100Mbps by mid-2010.
National Broadband Network (NBN) chief Mike Quigley has revealed that the NBN Co has been hiring more operations staff in Melbourne than Sydney, adding fuel to an ongoing rivalry.
The federal opposition has labelled as corrupt the process used to appoint a former Labor MP to a highly-paid job with the national broadband network.
The NBN has never lacked critics arguing that it will be too expensive and will be irrelevant for millions of Australians already serviced through other means. Yet even as ACMA reports an explosion in wireless broadband, can we assume this growth dilutes the case for the NBN? Some have, but not all are convinced.
The best thing about 2010 is that it's an election year, and the worst thing about 2010 is that it's an election year. Pressed to deliver concrete results to push their case with voters, KevAgainIn10 and Stephen Conroy will do their damnedest to progress the NBN, Telstra separation, the digital TV switchover and the hated internet filter. But can the Opposition parry?
2009 was a busy year in telecommunications and this year is shaping up for even more change. Or will some of the big promises start to fizzle out?
At the start of the year it looked like we were heading towards a fibre-to-the-node broadband network with very little talk about a separated Telstra. How the world has changed!
Stephen Conroy and Telstra's negotiations "update" seems to offer little more substance than the recent Copenhagen climate talks.
Within weeks the up to $53 million Federal Government-commissioned NBN implementation study is due to be delivered by lead advisers KPMG and McKinsey, but big questions remain: what is it, who's behind it and what impact will it have on the NBN Co's actual plans to build the network?
The Department of Broadband Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE) is on the hunt for investment advisors to assist it in assessing commercial agreements that the NBN Co may make.
McKinsey's growing influence on the National Broadband Network Company is a concerning fact that should continue to be closely scrutinised.
We've been honoured to host your debates this year, and look forward to a fantastic 2010. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of our readers.
It is time for Australians to take action to reject Stephen Conroy's internet filter, argues Pirate Party of Australia member Brendan Molloy. If we don't, we might as well give up any notion of freedom or privacy that we have.
ACT senator and former shadow Minister for ICT Kate Lundy told ZDNet.com.au last month in a video interview that a project as large as the National Broadband Network was bound to see schedule slippage.
At the AlwaysOn Summit at Stanford University, an innovation panel discusses ways to encourage women to join the computer industry.
For start-ups without a lot of time or money, is it smarter to develop for the iPhone first or the Android OS?

Panelists include Ron Yekutiel, CEO of Kaltura; Kim Polese, CEO of SpikeSource; and moderator Matt Asay, vice president of business development at Alfresco and a member of the CNET Blog Network.
