After "a healthy debate" with NBN Co chief executive, iiNet supremo Michael Malone has been convinced that the National Broadband Network will be delivered.
More than a quarter of people surveyed believe Telstra will assume control of the $43 billion National Broadband Network (NBN).
The head of one of Australia's biggest companies has expressed his dismay at the federal government's plan to break up Telstra.
Outspoken telecommunications stalwart David Havyatt has called for the industry to shower the federal broadband department with unsolicited submissions on the National Broadband Network.
Analysis from the Royal Bank of Scotland has likened the investment in the National Broadband Network to a satellite network the government invested in during the 80s, which former Prime Minister Paul Keating once described as a billion dollar piece of "space junk".
Labor's fibre-to-the-premises NBN was meant to be an act of freedom, a breaking-free from 100 years of copper infrastructure legacy and the start of something new. So why in the world are we still discussing Telstra's copper network?
In this week's Twisted Wire podcast, Tasmanian NBN chair Doug Campbell talks about the roll-out of the National Broadband Network in that state, as well as its economic viability and the path ahead.
Rural areas will be welcoming the government's decision to put its money where its politicising is, funnelling $250m into a regional fibre upgrade to six rural centres. Remedying over a decade of near-neglect at the hands of telecoms privatisation, the investment could be the firmest step yet for Labor's NBN dream but with inevitable political questions and a looming election, Rudd and Conroy need to deliver, and quickly, to preserve the NBN's credibility.

Sol Trujillo has, not for the first time and perhaps not for the last, ignited a furore, this time over his charge that Australians are racist. While his broader comments mischaracterise a country generally welcoming to people of different cultural backgrounds, there is also some validity to them when it comes to the way he was treated during his stint here.
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.
commentary: It is not a foregone conclusion that the successor to outgoing Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo will be internally sourced.
