Would-be successor to both Sol Truijillo and Ziggy Switkowski, David Moffatt has called it quits after eight years with Telstra.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy flashed his Next G-connected iPhone in the Senate today to show the resilience of his carrier's share price.
Telstra's internet services suffered a nationwide outage this morning for around one hour, according to its spokesperson.
Telstra today announced it had upgraded the upload speed of portions of its Next G mobile network to a theoretical 5.8Mbps, with real-world speeds likely to sit between 300Kbps and 3Mbps.
3 Mobile customers will enjoy expanded access to 3G network services, provided they own a compatible handset.
Optus, Vodafone and Three have long struggled to match Telstra's reach outside the capital cities. Vodafone's major network upgrade is the best chance yet to dilute Next G's rural monopoly, but questions remain.
Many Australians are drooling at the prospect of 100Mbps broadband, but Trujillo seems to have a bigger endgame in mind. As Telstra poaches customers from the PSTN and NBN, he'll leave more poison pills than we've seen since Phar Lap.
Telstra's 21Mbps Next-G boost and Internode's new 100Mbps FttH networks may be both companies' show ponies, but when it comes to helping most of us, their need-for-speed posturing is just a box-and-dice distraction that we've all seen before.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
For all the horror stories of farmers left stranded by the shutdown of the CDMA network, there are plenty of success stories.
Is it finally time to ditch Optus' buggy network and go back to the dark side? Is it time to take my iPhone to Telstra's Next G and hang my head in shame?
Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo's successor will need to make conciliatory gestures towards the government and reconsider the company's strategy to remain relevant, analysts have concluded in the wake of this morning's announcement that Trujillo will depart the company on June 30.
Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo will leave Telstra in a better position than when he arrived in 2005, but his successor will have to manage plenty of difficult legacy issues.
In his role as Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo is the most talked about and controversial telecommunications executive in Australia. ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Trujillo during a recent trip to the US to quiz him about wireless and handsets.

LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.
The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.
Check out our reviews of the Next G mobiles that Telstra recommends for use in rural areas.
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
The TU500 isn't going to win any fashion awards, but underneath its pedestrian skin lurks a highly capable Next G phone.
