Telstra's unions have decided to approach the telco's institutional investors to put the bad word on Telstra's senior management in the lead up to its annual general meeting.

The nation's number two telco Optus today said it would reduce its prepaid wireless broadband quotas as of 24 November, saying the former quotas were only an initial offer.
Although Telstra has taken the plunge into Twitter, using the tool to monitor service outages and contact customers about support issues, major broadband rivals Optus, Internode and iiNet have no immediate plans to follow Telstra's lead.
Australian telco Clever Communications has made a bid to buy fellow wireless provider BigAir.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.

BT, long considered a risk-taker in the telecommunications market, has laid a US$105 million bet to open its network to application developers in the hopes of creating innovative voice services. But will other phone companies take a similar gamble?
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
In 2005, telecoms competition was gaining its legs, but since then it has suffered a turnaround, going backwards while it rushes ahead in the rest of the world, according to David Forman, executive director of the Competitive Carriers' Coalition.

The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.
