With Australia now facing an ageing population -- and the added stress of having one of the most geographically dispersed people -- Telstra's CEO Sol Trujillo is talking up the Internet as one way to tackle upcoming health issues.
Telstra has apologised for its treatment of a seriously ill customer in Melbourne, whose mother claims she was told the telco had an unofficial policy to cancel the contracts of seriously ill people, to avoid chasing money from the deceased estates.
Telstra has not been separated and construction of the NBN on the mainland is still in the pipeline, but today saw Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd kick off a conference that was designed to help Australia understand how 100 megabits per second broadband can be used.
Telstra BigPond customers in NSW and Victoria have been having account issues since last weekend.
While the relative merits of Next G vs CDMA as a mobile phone network will forever remain in question, no one seems to be arguing that Next G is winning out when it comes to data.
When your broadband speeds are limited to 38Kbps it's not hard to join the ranks of people demanding the NBN already. Telstra's copper network is a renovator's delight.
The men running Telstra have been accused of a lot of things, but lack of conviction is definitely not one of them. I found this out recently after having the chance to hear Phil Burgess, the company's most senior regular spokesperson and an outspoken critic of the government's telecommunications policy, address an AIIA-sponsored business lunch in Melbourne.
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.
Telstra doesn't just "do telephones" according to Deena Schiff, Telstra Group MD it seems it's also got its eye on the health space. This week in Sydney, the telco has been showing off the latest health tech from its partners, including a wireless stethoscope and remote monitoring for aged and disability care.
We look at five organisations that took different approaches to satisfying a common business requirement: to improve the management of corporate information. We hear from Jetstar, Family Court, SHFA, Count Wealth and MBF.
Technology is allowing workers to stay in contact no matter where they are. How do you choose the right combination of hardware, software, data transport, and voice transport, then secure the whole lot and make sure your organisation is set up to take advantage?
They promise low-cost connectivity that could make conventional, expensive WANs a thing of the past. But can roll-your-own Internet VPNs really deliver?
Telstra is boosting its mobile network to cope with the huge volume of SMS messages predicted for New Years Eve.
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
Australians will have access to mobile videophones, multimedia on the move and broadband Internet access on their mobile phones by mid-2002 -- 18 months earlier than the US. Seems the Lucky Country just got luckier.
