The NSW Government is evaluating the benefits of software as a service and open source software in a bid to rationalise and reduce the costs of its software procurement, according to a Request for Information document released today.
More than a quarter of people surveyed believe Telstra will assume control of the $43 billion National Broadband Network (NBN).
Future Fund chief executive Paul Costello yesterday remained tight-lipped in the face of sustained questioning over the fund's stance, as an investor, on the pending legislated separation of Telstra's operations.

How well Stephen Conroy handles Telstra's challenge will determine whether we're hurtling towards a great new era in telecommunications, or fated to even more years stuck in the grip of Telstra's well-entrenched market position.
Labor's fibre-to-the-premises NBN was meant to be an act of freedom, a breaking-free from 100 years of copper infrastructure legacy and the start of something new. So why in the world are we still discussing Telstra's copper network?
