Naked DSL blows ill wind for Telstra as iiNet rakes in customers
By: Stephen Withers
In what must be a worrying sign for Telstra's traditional voice telephony business, naked DSL is proving to be a smash hit for Australia's third largest ISP iiNet and its customers. iiNet claims it has signed up more than 25,000 households in six months, and that two-thirds say they're saving at least $20 per month on Internet and phone charges.

Telstra: may the holographic force be with you!
By: Stan Beer
In a scene reminiscent of a Star Wars Jedi Council meeting, Australia's dominant carrier Telstra has projected a life-size 3-D hologram of its chief technology officer to give a business presentation in real time hundreds of kilometres away. The presentation held in Adelaide saw a not perfect but passable 3-D colour image of Dr Hugh Bradlow on stage which was beamed from Melbourne, more than 700 km distant.

VoIP emergency call failure's first fatality?
By: Stuart Corner
18 month old Canadian Elijah Luck may have the unfortunate distinction of being the first person to die because a VoIP phone service used to make an emergency call failed to deliver the caller's correct address.

OK, it's probably a demographic thing, but I just don't get these TV shows where you're expected to vote for your favourite or most disliked participant. Apart from anything else, it seems like a waste of money - you want me to sit through the ads and let you take a cut of my phone bill?
