Visa Australia said today it was moving to chip and PIN technology for all of its credit cards, with signature transactions to be banned by April 2013.
Woolworths' chief executive Michael Luscombe says uptake of its talk-and-text prepaid mobile packages, which rely on Optus' 2G network, has been so successful that it will now offer 3G and data packages.
Three new directors have joined current executive chairman Doug Campbell on the board of the Tasmanian National Broadband Network Company (TNBN Co), but none are from TNBN Co's joint owner, Aurora Energy.
Woolworths customers don't want data included in their mobile phone plans, according to research the retailer completed to launch its 2G wholesale mobile partnership with Optus today.
Optus has announced it will be opening three flagship stores at midnight on Thursday to kick off the first day's sales of the iPhone 3G S.
Telephone call cards how dodgy are they, despite recent court actions by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission?
When Coles introduced Fly Buys, Woolworths introduced Everyday Rewards. When Coles introduced petrol discount vouchers, Woolworths introduced petrol discount vouchers. It's a bold plan, but can it and Coles' inevitable copycat product change the prepaid mobile world for the better?
Around one third of Australia's telcos have shut their doors over time, but that isn't stopping new ventures hoping to chip away at carriers' mobile call bonanza. By fighting carriers at the smartphone rather than the home phone, could the latest two contenders be onto something big?
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
Great to see so many constructive comments on here definitely a case of the facts speaking for themselves.

It may have had its share of teething pains, but medical clinic chain Medi 7 has used its VoIP and open source Asterisk PABX rollout to improve call routing and slash thousands of dollars in telecommunications costs.
A mobile telecommunications revolution in Africa is bringing new economic opportunities to the world's most impoverished continent, while providing lessons that can help carriers around the world push into other low-value markets. Brad Howarth reports.
Vodafone Australia has reported growth in raw customer numbers in its latest quarterly figures, released last night on the London stock exchange, but the news is not all good.

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.
There's simply no better phone at this price. Fast web access, solid construction and fantastic social networking make this a must-see phone.
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.
Like Crocodile Dundee, the M110 would be great in the bush but not so well-suited to city living. The M110 will suit those who are bound to get the phone dirty, but its rugged exterior doesn't exactly protect a wealth of valuable technology.
