Execs say they're happy with Sun Microsystems' performance in Australia, but much of that can still be attributed to a single customer -- Telstra.
With regional Australia continuing to protest federal government plans to privatise the remainder of Telstra, the telecommunications heavyweight has boosted efforts to appease residents in the remote west.
Apple's 3G iPhone will hit Australia on 11 July, with Vodafone and Optus confirming they will offer the device. With Telstra also expected to join the party, what is the likelihood of a price war over data costs?
Telstra announced today that it will be launching its own software as a service (SaaS) platform, incorporating applications from the largest vendors as well as smaller Australian developers.
As Telstra prepares to close off its CDMA network at the end of the month amidst concerns over customer migration to Next G, industry observers have said that after the dust settles the new network could hold promise for bush users.
The men running Telstra have been accused of a lot of things, but lack of conviction is definitely not one of them.

I have never been to Sweden. In fact, I have no real, hard evidence that Sweden really exists as anything more than a collective, Utopian vision where things just work, and life is better.
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
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.
We've all experienced that irritating feeling upon walking into a nearly empty restaurant, only to see little 'reserved' signs on the empty tables, and to be told by the matre d' that no tables are available even as other people enter and are escorted to their tables.

Apple took the wraps off its first Australian store today. Here is a sneak peek of what is inside the big glass walls.
With a fierce battle raging over Australia's broadband future and how bush users should be connected, regulators have weighed in to produce a state of nation report into the country's communications infrastructure and how well consumers are being served by their providers.
Getting broadband to everyone in Australia should be a major concern for businesses and government.
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.
Communications Minister Senator Helen Coonan yesterday defended Australia's national telecommunications regulatory regime.
Australia still has way to go before it can meet its full potential with wireless and broadband.
Telstra's wireless CDMA 1x network is for Australian road warriors who don't mind paying big bucks for maximum mobility.
Reading over the results from the Australian Broadband Survey for 2004 confirms what many ZDNet Australia readers have written about over the past year: Telstra drastically needs to improve its BigPond service.
