Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent have been selected to manage and provide the "active infrastructure" for the country's planned next-generation national broadband network (NBN).
Telstra has confirmed it closed the shutters on its nowwearetalking.com.au website, which at times has been used as a mouthpiece to promote its telecommunications sector regulatory ambitions.
HP-owned EDS has won the bulk of a three-year application development and maintenance outsourcing deal with Australia's number two telco, Optus.
Optus chief Paul O'Sullivan received a total pay package of $2.1 million in the year to 31 March 2009, the company's annual report released today has revealed.
Optus today attributed growth in customer numbers and profits over the first three months of 2009 to iPhone sales and the Federal Government's two stimulus packages.
Hillary Clinton's nine lives are not yet depleted and, despite allegations that her stubborn refusal to concede defeat earlier has fragmented her party, she fought her battle to the very end. By placing bets several ways, that battle may just turn into gold for her down the track. Has Optus taken a leaf out of Hillary's book?
What a week it's been for mobiles.
Great to see so many constructive comments on here definitely a case of the facts speaking for themselves.
I don't think I'm stepping out of line when I say that every good analysis combines facts and opinion.
Say what you will about Senator Stephen Conroy, but he is clearly not a man afraid of confrontation. Well, he'd better not be, because by killing off the OPEL WiMax project he has just set himself up for a battle with Telstra of Biblical proportions or a big meal of crow washed down with a $4.7 billion gift to SingTel Optus.
The level of ignorance from Australian politicians about technology can be staggering. Here's some of the worst examples we've seen, and a short recipe for resolving the issue.

If the sale of the SingTel Optus HFC network to the National Broadband Network Company goes ahead, it could mark the first significant strategic victory by the company since it lost the cable wars a decade ago.
The silence clinging to Stephen Conroy's National Broadband Network deliberations may have fried some brains in Australia's telecommunications industry.
Singapore Telecommunications last week shed light on the difficult industry dynamics that lay ahead of VHA, the mobile phone business being formed from the merger of Vodafone Australia and Hutchison Telecommunications.
The sight of people talking into their mobile phones as they walk down the street is normal. But Singapore's largest telco SingTel is hoping that users will take to staring at their handsets devices and singing.
SingTel Optus has avoided slashing its mobile rates in moving to compete with rivals, opting instead to introduce new plans with increased flexibility such as allowing customers to roll back a two-year contract if they exceed the number of calls stipulated in their plan.
Optus has launched its first product developed collaboratively with other members of the SingTel group and indicated future products will be developed in the same way to give Optus an edge over local rivals.
Another mobile phone giant has landed in Australia, bringing with it "true 3G"--the ability to make real time video phone calls--and intensifying the mobile battle in the country.
SingTel Optus has announced the availability of video on mobiles by March 5, and streaming video on mobiles by the end of April. This is all happening over its GPRS network, an apparent attempt to pre-empt the launch of Hutchison's 3G network later this year.
