Optus has confirmed its retail stores are experiencing problems signing up customers of Apple's much-anticipated iPhone handset due to difficulties with its internal computer network.
Broadband Minister Senator Stephen Conroy has demanded that Telstra -- and a series of other carriers -- provide him with the physical details of their networks, in order to enlighten companies that may be interested in building the government's proposed fibre-to-the-node network.
Optus is decommissioning its Nortel-powered hosted VoIP Centrex offering in favour of a new voice module delivered over its next-generation Evolve network.
Optus has completed a massive reorganisation of its network management operations that has seen hundreds of staff redeployed in a bid to boost service standards.
Today Optus announced plans to expand its 3G network coverage next year to 98 percent of Australia and will bring mobile speeds up to 42Mbps by 2010, in a direct challenge to rival Telstra.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.
If there's fibre running to the node down my street by the end of 2009, I'll eat my own shoes with mustard sauce.
