Australia's peak scientific research body, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), has put its entire telecommunications infrastructure out to tender.
Calm, diplomatic and deep down a salesman. David Thodey, the meat in Telstra's Kaz sandwich, will be in familiar territory in his new role as Telstra's chief executive officer.
Telstra is expected to appoint its enterprise and government chieftain David Thodey as its new chief executive as early as today, according to multiple reports.
Telstra has today announced new upgrades to its broadband and mobile networks, as well as officially launching its software-as-a-service portal, T-Suite.
Telstra and its mobile network supplier Ericsson claim to have proved the telco's 42Mbps mobile broadband claims are not all hot air, finishing a trial of the enhanced High Speed Packet Access technology.
It wasn't too long ago that critics of WiMax wireless technology were declaring it dead at the starting gate.
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
Last year I opined that, even if Telstra did launch Apple's iPhone 3G, conflicting goals meant it couldn't afford to seriously back the product. This year, Telstra proved me right, and the reason is simple: Australia's biggest telco just wants to be a Mac.
Telstra changed so much internally under Sol Trujillo's watch that it seems likely the company's next CEO will be drawn from a small pool of executives who are already well practised in the Way of Sol.
Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo will leave Telstra in a better position than when he arrived in 2005, but his successor will have to manage plenty of difficult legacy issues.
In his role as Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo is the most talked about and controversial telecommunications executive in Australia. ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Trujillo during a recent trip to the US to quiz him about wireless and handsets.
Industry analysts are always predicting what will happen in the future. David Braue went back in time five years to see how analysts expected the mobile comms market to evolve, and then compared it to what actually happened.
Most businesses see PowerPoint as the be-all and end-all when it comes to distributing information. As David Braue finds, however, Fone Zone's willingness to look further has paid many benefits.
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 F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
The BlackBerry 7130e is an expensive undertaking, but if you're a mobile professional the cost is undoubtedly justified.
As a tool for the e-mail-centric, the BlackBerry wins plenty of praise on its own merits and the addition of wireless modem functionality further sweetens the deal.
As long as you're a metropolitan broadband user, Telstra BigPond Wireless Broadband delivers well, but it can't be said to be an inexpensive broadband option.
Telstra is expanding its 2.5G CDMA network to cover 98 percent of the Australian population, in a process expected to be completed by the end of the year.
