Local Internet service provider Chariot is looking to offload its wireless division Omninet, less than 18 months after it first bought the asset.
Business and wholesale telco PowerTel has launched ADSL2+ broadband services, with Perth-based Westnet to be one of the first retail Internet service providers to offer the product.
Optus is extending its trial of wireless broadband to the business market, but is still yet to commit to a full commercial rollout.
Analysts are predicting big things in Voice over IP telephony in 2005 and the market is responding, with a new service from Laurel Stream Communications launching this week and a USB phone in the works. But other companies have ramped back their VoIP plans.
Telstra's BigPond ISP has moved to moderate the growth in help-desk calls -- driven largely by rising broadband demand -- by releasing an online tool that monitors the status of customers' connections.
The increasing popularity of IP telephony is a big worry for local telcos, but not all the pieces are in place for Australia to take full advantage.
