The Queensland government has set aside AU$3 million in its budget to replace the fire alarm monitoring service for over 6,500 buildings such as hospitals, schools and shopping centres.
Telstra has moved to rescue its subsidiary Reach, a 50-50 joint venture with PCCW, with a US$286 million prepay arrangement.
Over the last two days, Telstra has temporarily fixed a cable cut in the Kimberley region in an operation involving a C130 Hercules and a baby crocodile.
Telstra has come to the rescue of flood victims in NSW, boosting access to the mobile phone network.
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.
