An inquiry is underway into the proposed structural separation of dominant Australian telecommunications company Telstra and subsequent sale of the services division.
Telstra has been ordered to introduce a common phone line rental charge to ensure people in the bush are not charged more than their city cousins.
The Australian Industrial Relations Commission today refused an application by Telstra to postpone mediation with unions until the telco's appeal about the commission's jurisdiction in the case could be held.
Accenture this morning announced it had won a five-year, multimillion dollar contract with Telstra to maintain the new customer care and billing platform that the IT services giant helped develop.
Telstra workers have voted to reject a new work contract that unions say would reduce wages and conditions for new workers.
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.
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.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
