The iPhone's shortcomings have been a boon to Telstra, the telco's outgoing public policy chief Phil Burgess claimed in his last Australian speech yesterday.
Telstra has suggested a solution to farmers worried about what will happen now that OPEL's planned WiMax network has been scrapped go to Vodafone.
The time has come for Optus's group of nine (G9) consortium to prove it wasn't bluffing when it said last month it would build its own national fibre broadband network if Telstra's plans fell through.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan fought back today against attacks on the government's WiMax and fibre to the node plans, saying that opponents had sought to cloud the broadband debate.
With the details of who will build Australia's bush broadband network freshly released, the government has also taken the next step towards choosing whether Telstra or the rival G9 consortium will build the long-awaited 50Mbps urban fibre network.
Fair is not what the National Broadband Network tender is about; it's bloodsport, and a fight for survival, and a challenge of the wills, and all the other sorts of superlatives you might expect from an Olympics announcer.
The day of reckoning finally arrived for CDMA -- and was then postponed, leaving everyone with any strong feeling on the subject a nice window of three months to once again enjoy the semantic back-and-forth the closure provokes.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
After we published a list of the funniest and most biting public comments by Telstra's bombastic public policy chief Phil Burgess last week, a number of ZDNet.com.au readers wrote in suggesting more.
It is clear that Trujillo's frenetic period at the helm of Telstra is drawing to a close and he is likely to be gone (of his own volition) before the end of the year.
