Telstra will sack 279 employees at the end of October as it ceases publishing a print version of the Trading Post, with the iconic classifieds brand to go completely online.
Telstra said today it had retrieved the lost personal Web sites of its satellite, cable and ADSL BigPond Internet customers, but was still recovering those of its dial-up customer base.
Telstra said today it had retrieved "99.9 percent" of personal Web sites inadvertently deleted earlier this week when a corrupted server was rebooted.
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.
Telstra today adjusted pricing for its wireless broadband service for the second time in as many months, introducing a new low-use entry-level plan and data shaping on higher use contracts.
Telstra and TransACT will shortly begin offering 100Mbps broadband to many customers. By moving early, the companies have not only raised the bar for Australia's broadband services, but thrown down a challenge to a government that now faces increased pressure to deliver the NBN as promised.
It's Patch Monday, ZDNet.com.au's weekly podcast that looks at the big stories within the Australian IT community.
The government dumped its well-intentioned bidders and spent the day awash in adulation from an industry that suddenly felt all its Christmases had come at once. But isn't this the same government that, two weeks ago, was warning it had to ditch key election promises for lack of funding?
I have one word for the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT). Gutless.
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.
iiNet and Telstra seem to be at loggerheads but the real culprit, according to the telco giant, is the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

Telstra will commence a trial of mobile Web services in Australia this month in partnership with its wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, CSL.
Google announced the open-sourcing of its Chrome OS early this morning, and the search giant was very clear in explaining its target market for Chrome OS devices: this is a companion device, not a primary desktop machine. But is a Chrome OS netbook intrinsically better than a lowly iPod?
After months and months of waiting, Microsoft has finally kicked its latest mobile operating system out of the nest to see if it can fend for itself in the big, bad world of smartphone rivalries. Alongside the OS itself, Microsoft also rolled out a bunch of new web-based services as well.
It may look like a 3-D image but it's in fact a barcode designed to direct your phone's web browser to a relevant web page, or a phone number to dial.

The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.
While claiming a record-setting theoretical maximum speed of 21Mbps, the Telstra Turbo 21 mobile broadband modem will most likely deliver download speeds ranging from 550Kbps to 8Mbps in practice.
Matching a touchscreen with a full-QWERTY keyboard at this price point is fantastic. Anyone looking to make their cyber-life mobile should check out the Xenon.
LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.
