Telstra chief David Thodey today announced a $146 million broadband network project to connect over 1550 Catholic Australian schools.
Telstra has sealed a 10-year telecommunications and managed computing deal with Coca-Cola Amatil.
Telstra has offered around 10,000 unionised staff a 9 per cent rise over three years. But the offer looks set to be rejected by the telco's main union representatives, who want a 15 per cent rise.
Liberal member for Casey, Victoria, Tony Smith has been appointed as the Coalition's new shadow communications minister, but his views are at odds with new shadow finance minister, Nationals senator, Barnaby Joyce.
The Communications, Electricians and Plumbers Union says its talks with Telstra over establishing a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement are proceeding well, but the issue of pay hasn't been discussed yet.
Do the boards of IT companies deliberate extra carefully before making a deal with government for fear of having their name pulled through the dirt when they stuff up?
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
For no particular reason that I can discern, a 1979 Kenny Rogers song popped into my head as I was considering the ever more complex morass that is the national broadband network tender which Senator Stephen Conroy defended in his CeBIT keynote speech.
The last time I used a payphone was back in the summer of 2001.
Conroy's blind adherence to his net filtering plan will abandon net neutrality ideals and push ISPs down a slippery slope of unprecedented responsibility for a callously politicised Australian internet.
Net neutrality has the superficial attraction of 1960's free love, argues Telstra's Justin Milne, until you realise that one party gets all the gratification while the other bears all the costs.
Like Rudd, the ingrained cynicism and frustration at things not going to plan in Australia's telecommunications industry blinds ACCC chair Graeme Samuel to the possibility that he is part of the problem.
Former Optus executive Paul Fletcher's book "Wired Brown Land? Telstra's Battle for Broadband" details the history of broadband communication in our nation and highlights why it is impossible that Telstra will give up in its fight for dominance, despite the wounds it has recently taken.
Opinion: Conroy should end this futile tender process. Call Telstra's McGauchie and his executives in and read them the riot act. Appoint someone with appropriate credentials and resources not some panel to then negotiate a commercial deal on behalf of taxpayers.
Let's get serious in the search for a new Telstra CEO. It's time to put Mario, Dr Claw, Sydney Lawrence and George Bush on the list.
