NSW telecommunications services have been devastated by the unabated thirst of summer bush fires that continue to ravage the state’s rural terrain.
The NSW government has awarded a five-year deal to Soul Pattinson (SP) Telecommunications for supply of the core network component of a statewide AU$300 million broadband project.
New South Wales has signed new whole-of-government telephony deals with Telstra, Optus, AAPT and Macquarie Telecom as part of the state's attempt to cut down its annual AU$260 million telecommunications spend.
The NSW government on Saturday switched on the core of its new broadband network in a move it said would "close the digital divide" between country and metropolitan areas of the state.
Amendments to the Deployment of Radiocommunications Infrastructure code are not the answer to mobile telecommunications tower siting issues raised by communities, according to a lobby group.
It's hardly news that Telstra's corporate philosophy has become one of incessant whinging and strongarming since CEO Sol Trujillo rolled into town, but over the past week the company took its rhetoric to another level ...
I was interested to read that Telstra had the good sense to finally hand over its network designs to the Federal government last week.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
Telstra's bombastic public policy chief Phil Burgess has peppered the Australian public with vitriolic and memorable quotes since his ascension to the role in July 2005. From whether his mother should buy Telstra shares to Darryl Kerrigan in the castle, Dr Phil had it all. We've collated some of the best.
As Karl Suleman's fleet of luxury cars go under the auctioneer's hammer, John Paterson and Tim Berry have collectively climbed into the drivers seat of the long-suffering ISP, Froggy.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but Australian utilities' recent abandonment of broadband over powerline (BPL) technology has all but sealed the fate of a technology that was once hoped to bring high-speed data to every corner of Australia.
It was around nine years since strong-armed government departments began to realise willy-nilly outsourcing wasn't, perhaps, the best idea. However, with contracts signed and staff already migrated, there was little to do but ride out the storm. In this special report, we look at the Victoria Police and the South West Alliance of Rural Hospitals' approach to managed services.
With so many companies focused on major IT-driven transformation, it's easy to forget that even small changes can have a big benefit. For road motoring group NRMA Motoring & Services, however, a highly focused middleware implementation project has provided a new communications channel for hearing-impaired customers.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
The Queensland government has used its buying power to increase mobile coverage within the state, after it "got tired of waiting for the federal government to do something".
The federal government has formally asked the Australian Communications Authority to investigate the feasibility of allowing state governments to jam mobile phone signals in jails.
