Telstra expects to reach 60-70 percent penetration among its customers by 2010 for high speed third-generation mobile services, chief executive Sol Trujillo has told the Mobile World Congress.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan today said Telstra and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) were expected to resolve within weeks their dispute over regulations covering the telco's high-tech fibre network.
Telstra's broadband services head has moved to hose down debate over DSL broadband service pricing as the telecommunications heavyweight prepares a huge marketing push to meet its goal of one million customers by 2005.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer will guest star at Telstra's marathon annual investor day today, ZDNet.com.au has learned.
Telstra today said it would start upgrading its Next G mobile network to 21Mbps speeds by the end of the year, with Canada-based supplier Sierra Wireless working on the first customer access device.
Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.
Fair is not what the National Broadband Network tender is about; it's bloodsport, and a fight for survival, and a challenge of the wills, and all the other sorts of superlatives you might expect from an Olympics announcer.
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.

Telstra's Now We Are Talking resident cartoonist Mikko lampoons Terria's rapidly declining list of members.

Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
The F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
Tradies interested in Telstra's "tradesman's" phone may have to toss away a hammer to make room for the F158 in their toolboxes.
