Australia's number two telecommunications company Optus says revenue growth in the current financial year is expected to moderate and earnings are to decline slightly.
A study released this week has predicted that around 1.3 million iPhones will be shipped by Apple to Australia over the next five years, as the appetite for converged devices continue to grow.
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?
Australian telcos are plowing on with their original strategies despite their share prices following the market down to numbers some might consider to be a right bargain.
Optus has denied rampant rumours within the broadband community that it’s firing up an ADSL service that will rival Telstra’s oft-criticised broadband solution.
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.
Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.
Although 3G phones have been around for years, it appears the iPhone 3G has successfully rewritten the rules of competition in Australia's mobile sector whetting the nation's appetite for data.
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.
Keen news readers would have heard about the strong earthquake that rocked south-western Greece on Sunday. Fewer may have realised that the quake was not so much an act of God, as an act of Jobs.
Optus released a new VoIP package yesterday, designed to appeal to the small to medium business market in Australia.
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.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
Mobile broadband is taking a price dive this Christmas, with Vodafone and Optus trotting out low priced plans with high download quotas. But Telstra says its competitors' networks are too slow and offer limited coverage.
Optus will resell Personal Broadband Australia's iBurst wireless broadband solution, and is in talks with Unwired about a similar deal.
iBurst is a superb wireless broadband solution that's highly useful for the mobile business user, but users who don't require portability will likely find its price to be a deal breaker.
Optus has launched its first product developed collaboratively with other members of the SingTel group and indicated future products will be developed in the same way to give Optus an edge over local rivals.
Optus has defended its decision to enter the MMS market in the face of a report claiming current analyst predictions of market size are wildly inflated.
Hutchison Telecoms, which owns Orange, has outsourced the operation of its Australian mobile networks to Ericsson Australia in a seven-year deal that is expected to save the telco over AU$40 million.
Optus and Telstra have worked out issues around sending multi-media messages between the two networks.
