Apple's 3G iPhone will hit Australia on 11 July, with Vodafone and Optus confirming they will offer the device. With Telstra also expected to join the party, what is the likelihood of a price war over data costs?
Phil Burgess, Telstra's controversial group managing director of Public Policy and Communications, has announced he will leave his Australian post for good at the end of August.
Telstra will be the third Australian mobile provider to sell the iPhone in Australia, fuelling speculation of the imminent launch of a 3G iPhone.
The Northen Territory government today said it would consult with the local information technology industry over coming months as to how $80 million worth of ICT services would be provided in future.
The competition regulator yesterday announced a preliminary decision to exempt Telstra from having to supply rivals with wholesale telephone services in some metropolitan areas.
For all the horror stories of farmers left stranded by the shutdown of the CDMA network, there are plenty of success stories.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
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).
Keen news readers would have heard about the strong earthquake that rocked south-western Greece on Sunday. Fewer may have realised that the quake was not so much an act of God, as an act of Jobs.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
An analysis by representatives of Australia's two largest IT industry groups shows that neither political party in the federal election has come up with a comprehensive policy around technology.
When the government announced that Optus and Elders had won the bid to build Australia's bush broadband network, it provoked jeers and plaudits alike, but it was the ISPs' choice of WiMax as the bearer technology that has provoked the most furious storm of argument. Just how will the technology stand up to life in the bush?
Most businesses see PowerPoint as the be-all and end-all when it comes to distributing information. As David Braue finds, however, Fone Zone's willingness to look further has paid many benefits.
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.
Check out our reviews of the Next G mobiles that Telstra recommends for use in rural areas.
The F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
Telstra will introduce Australia's first Windows Mobile-based Palm Treo 750 smartphone on February 26, with the added bonus of compatibility with its high-speed Next G mobile network.
Here's a dollop of irony: the best Windows Mobile smartphone has been created by Palm! A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make it the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
