In a move that closely parallels Telstra's 2005 announcement of its FTTN plans, UK incumbent telco BT has promised to deliver high speed broadband services to 10 million UK homes (40 percent of total): if it can get the appropriate guarantees from the regulator.

Telstra has installed a hydrogen powered fuel cell in its Melbourne headquarters as part of its renewable energy programme. A commendable initiative, but let's be clear about this, hydrogen is not an energy source, let alone a renewable one.

Google has released a piece of software that runs on your PC and works with equipment supporting the Universal Plug and Play standard, such as the PS3, to enable you to display, on your TV media files stored on your home network or on Google-owned sites like Picasa and YouTube.

The Tell The Truth Telstra (T4) campaigners have seized on the results of the Readers Digest annual "Australia's Most Trusted People" list to claim it found that "Australian’s rate Sol Trujillo, CEO of Telstra, amongst the least trustworthy people in the country." That is hardly telling the truth.

Monday, 16 June 2008
BigPond head honcho Justin Milne has delivered the most convincing picture I have yet seen of Telstra's media comms abilities and ambitions and it reinforces what I have been saying for years: Telstra is uniquely positioned because it is such a powerful player in so many overlapping, and converging, technologies, services and markets.

Monday, 16 June 2008
The latest suggestion from a US telco, this time AT&T, that usage based charging for broadband services is "inevitable" has sparked the usual flurry of indignation and denigration of service providers, but Blind Freddy should be able to see that inevitable it is.

Saturday, 14 June 2008
After I posted the story “Telstra heavies Wikipedia to protect CEO’s image”  I received an email from Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales, saying: “Your story about Simon (sic) Trujillo / Telstra is erroneous to the point of irresponsibility.”
