Telstra workers have voted to reject a new work contract that unions say would reduce wages and conditions for new workers.
has altered its method for listing ADSL equipment certified interoperable with its network after it was discovered last month that a manufacturer had been distributing modems to ISPs and major resellers without the carrier's certification for months.
Mid-tier telco People Telecom today said it would soon start selling ADSL2+ broadband services based on Telstra's wholesale platform, making it the first telco to do so.
Tomorrow Telstra will start pushing out a software update to half a million customers that will allow users to point their phones at a barcode and be directed to a relevant Web page.
Regulatory submissions to the federal government's AU$4.7 billion national broadband network mostly only paid lip service to the complications and risks of separation in the telecommunications industry, analyst firm Ovum said today.
A reader suggested a key test to structural separation to compare shareholder return for BT with that of Telstra, providing a presumptive analysis of whether separation was a Good Thing or a Bad Thing. This was a great idea that I had to try.
The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
With all the excitement over the iPhone, few people have noticed that 1 July was the 11th anniversary of the deregulation of Australia's telecommunications market.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
This week has seen both Telstra and O2 in the UK ditch NTT DoCoMo's i-mode mobile content service after adopting it for just two years. Is this a good sign or a bad sign for the Internet on mobiles?
Mobile broadband is taking a price dive this Christmas, with Vodafone and Optus trotting out low priced plans with high download quotas. But Telstra says its competitors' networks are too slow and offer limited coverage.
An analysis by representatives of Australia's two largest IT industry groups shows that neither political party in the federal election has come up with a comprehensive policy around technology.
When the government announced that Optus and Elders had won the bid to build Australia's bush broadband network, it provoked jeers and plaudits alike, but it was the ISPs' choice of WiMax as the bearer technology that has provoked the most furious storm of argument. Just how will the technology stand up to life in the bush?
How can you tell if your business is ready for Voice over IP? Also, who are the leading IP handset providers and systems integrators in Australia?
During the 64 matches to be played in the 2006 World Cup, an estimated 3.2 million spectators will pass through the 12 stadiums to witness the action first-hand. From arrival to departure, the entire experience will be monitored, streamlined and enhanced by multiple systems from Siemens.
The F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
Tradies interested in Telstra's "tradesman's" phone may have to toss away a hammer to make room for the F158 in their toolboxes.
A cute, Next G capable clamshell that performs well, but without any remarkable features the EasyTouch fails to make a lasting impression.
Telstra today said it had started selling a laptop mobile broadband card in the ExpressCard form factor suitable for the latest Mac and PC machines.
