Australian technology and telecommunications companies are making more use of lobbyists to gain influence in Canberra, the Federal Government's lobbyist register has revealed.
Today is the deadline for Australian telcos to hand over information on their networks so that the federal government can use it in its process to build a $4.7 billion national broadband network. ZDNet.com.au investigated who's on time and who's late.
Diversified industrial firm Futuris today said it intended to sell its 50 per cent stake in local telco Amcom speedily, as industry speculation intensified over who would be a likely buyer.
Femtocells could help speed the arrival of next-generation mobile-broadband networks, such as WiMax and LTE (long-term evolution), the future roadmap of 3G.
A group of telcos led by local broadband evangelist Paul Budde is pushing ahead with plans to link its combined infrastructure to form a national network for the purposes of providing high-speed broadband to regional areas.
The silence clinging to Stephen Conroy's National Broadband Network deliberations may have fried some brains in Australia's telecommunications industry.
