Internet service provider Netspace today announced the activation of 10 DSLAMs (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) in Tasmania.
Telstra will be forced to keep meticulous records on activities in its telephone exchanges, according to new regulations designed to alleviate complaints by other telcos.
Within two months, Internode will tackle customers who have previously sat in ADSL black spots, by offering its new naked service up to seven kilometres from its own exchange network.
Internet service provider Eftel has signed an agreement with NEC-owned Nextep Broadband, giving it sole access to certain equipment in telephone exchanges which will increase its new broadband network by around twice its current size.
Internet service provider iiNet has reversed its position that it will not participate in Telstra's "fast churn" process as part of moving their ADSL customers to their own network.
Technical issues specific to Powertel's network have temporarily prevented the business-focused telco from installing Chinese networking vendor Huawei's DSLAM equipment.
Internet Service Provider TPG is poised to unveil plans to roll out its own ADSL broadband infrastructure.
Internet service provider TPG has outlined plans to install ADSL2+ infrastructure in 250 telephone exchanges nationwide by the end of 2006, with several capital cities expected to receive services from March or April next year.
The cancellation of Telstra's proposed fibre to the node broadband network has hit Alcatel's bottom-line, with several billion dollars being cut out of a deal between the two announced last November.
Telstra has officially switched on over 900 ADSL2+ exchanges, amid allegations of spin by the telco over its decision to back down on the issue of regulation.
Telstra cut around 1,000 full-time staff positions in the six months from June 30 last year and has commenced the network buildouts it announced in November.
The nation's third-largest Internet service provider has ended its protest over Telstra's wholesale ADSL prices and has started signing up customers in regional areas again.
Primus Telecom Australia has its sights set on a market of half the Australian population with the initial deployment of new digital subscriber line (DSL) network infrastructure.
A decision by embattled telco AAPT to invest in its own ADSL network would be "high-risk" and could make the business less attractive to suitors in the event of a sale, according to telecommunications research firm Ovum.
Telstra has been warned by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) not to sabotage attempts by rival carriers to roll-out their own hardware in Telstra exchanges.
