A sliced Telstra cable caused mayhem in Adelaide this morning, severing access to phone services, EFTPOS terminals, ATM's and Internet services for up to four hours.
The South Australian government has named the six telcos which will be on its telecommunications services panel, singling out Telstra as the supplier of its mobile services for the next three years.
The Northern Territory government has bitterly complained about a lack of competition in the telecommunications market that it claims has led to it paying Telstra three to five times more for some communications services than the rest of the nation.
How much blame must Telstra accept for Australia's broadband blackspots?
Some 15 of South Australia's regional local councils have joined forces as they attempt to tackle the sticky problem of how to eliminate broadband blackspots in their areas.
Getting Senator Stephen Conroy's regulatory reform for the telecommunications industry through the parliament would need support from the Senate. On Twisted Wire we ring around to see which parties are supportive and which are against.
It wasn't too long ago that critics of WiMax wireless technology were declaring it dead at the starting gate.
Telstra's 21Mbps Next-G boost and Internode's new 100Mbps FttH networks may be both companies' show ponies, but when it comes to helping most of us, their need-for-speed posturing is just a box-and-dice distraction that we've all seen before.
Will Internode's (sudden) and dramatic price hike for its broadband plans undo the G9's plans for an affordable, high-speed broadband network?
South Australia's Yorke Peninsula with just 11,780 people spread across 5,834 square kilometres, is known more for its rugged natural beauty than its technological prowess. But now that Internode has brought broadband to the entire peninsula, the area has become a very important part of Australia's telegeography.
In the midst of the current Liberal emissions trading and leadership maelstrom, there exists numerous breaches in the shadow cabinet's line-up. Who will step up to fill the gap left by the fallen Senator Minchin?
Yes, says iiNet, and the telco giant's price chains are keeping smaller players from venturing down the rural broadband route.
How do you ensure critical Net traffic gets through while less important--and often expensive--traffic is curtailed? Also: What is "packet shaping"?
The possible ill effects on human health of mobile phones and towers will be studied at a virtual centre comprised of research organisations from Victoria and South Australia.
