4G is a term often used and more often misused to try and 'sex-up' current or almost current wireless technologies like WiMAX or the long term evolution (LTE) of 3G. One market research firm has had enough - but they're blaming the wrong people for perpetrating the myth of 4G.

Telstra's incoming CEO and chair, David Thodey and Catherine Livingstone, weren't keen to talk about Telstra's future relationship with the government and their stance on matters regulatory at their first press conference, trying instead to keep attention focussed on what the new regime will do for Telstra's customers.

Telstra has been found guilty of misusing information available within its network, as a provider of wholesale services to Optus, by passing this information to its retail arm for marketing and competitive analysis purposes. The outcome will significantly strengthen the case for structurally separating Telstra Wholesale and Retail so as to remove the incentive and the opportunity for similar conduct in the future.

The Federal Opposition has continued its assault on the Government's $43b NBN plan accusing it of ignoring, or selectively quoting from, studies that suggest customers will be unwilling to pay a premium for the promised high bandwidth services, but it risks exposing its own abysmal track record on broadband planning.

Three weeks ago communications minister Stephen Conroy was adamant that the Government would fulfil its election promise of an FTTN network delivering at least 12Mbps to 98 percent of the population, that the RFP process would run its course and that Telstra had Buckley's chance of getting back in.

A spoof article published in Computerworld Australia on 1 April claiming that Telstra had agreed to a retail/wholesale split if it were to win the NBN went badly awry and precipitated a flurry of trading in Telstra stock. Recriminations and regrets are flowing thick and fast and ASIC is rumoured to be investigating, But who is really to blame?

The country top level domain name (ccTLD) system was designed initially to indicate country of origin or at least operation of the domain name owner but ever since the tiny Pacific Island nation of Tuvalu realised there was money to be made from the fact that its ccTLD (.tv) is the same as that of the couch potato's best friend, other have seen the possibility of monetising ccTLDs.

Scandinavian telco, TeliaSonera has issued a press release claiming it has signed "the world's first 4G commercial contracts" and will be "First in the world with next generation's mobile broadband." Supplier Ericsson has jumped on the same bandwagon, but they are both wrong: this is 3G not 4G technology.
