Federak Communications Minister Conroy has named the government's AU$4.7 billion national broadband network as the reason for an apparent lack of action on the universal service obligation (USO) review.
Sir Peter Gershon, the procurement expert responsible for slashing 23 billion (AU$49 billion) from the UK government's budget through ICT efficiency reviews has been recruited by Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner for the Federal government's budget Razor Gang.
The federal Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) will bring in an outside consultant to review its ICT function, which has come under "considerable pressure" due to significant recent changes in its operating environment.

Three new Australian technology start-ups, uTag, TrafficHawk.com.au and LinkViz, were conceived and launched over the weekend in a lightning initiative dubbed "Startup Camp Sydney".
Will the Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee's report linger as simply yet another ineffectual review guiding limp and ineffectual efforts to improve regional services?
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Tevye, the much loved protagonist of Fiddler on the Roof, was full of wisdom. "A bird may love a fish," he memorably said, "but where would they build a home together?"

The E6510 looks the part of a serious business laptop, but there's a more fun exterior lurking within at least for as long as the battery holds out.
The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.
TC's Touch Pro fixes many of the problems with the Touch Diamond and adds a superb keyboard. It remains neat and compact, while battery life is improved (if still not perfect).
