It's probably quite difficult to annoy the ACMA, but when your spamming gets beyond a joke, expect to be thrust into the spotlight.

The ACMA yesterday released its proposals for major changes to all aspects of telephone numbering in both the short (12 month) and medium (five year) terms. It prompted a number of headlines warning of imminent exhaustion of mobile phone numbers, but that was not something of concern to the ACMA.

Telstra has just announced plans to upgrade its HFC network in Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney and Perth to support download speeds of up to 100Mbps, but oddly it does not seem to be too keen to tell customers about it.

Is the Coalition getting desperate to find ways to attack the NBN? The latest assaults from its chief protagonists Malcolm Turnbull and Paul Fletcher certainly suggest this to be the case.

4G is a much misused terminology in the world of cellular communications, but US telco AT&T and Apple are bolding taking the definition of 4G where it has never been taken before.

Hoping to confirm the oft-repeated claim that NBN Co's choice of first release sites was politically motivated the Sydney Morning Herald sought, and obtained, NBN Co internal planning documents under Freedom of Information legislation.

A decision by French mobile operator SFR to offer femtocells free to all its customers suggests that that they offer benefits for operators as much, or more so, than they offer for users.

The latest anti-NBN report from the Murdoch press - not known as the number one fan of the project - has revealed that "an $800 million deal with Optus [for the closure of its HFC network] includes an 'anti-disparagement' provision," but it's no big deal and no different to conditions applying to Telstra.

When a high profile company gets rid of four senior high-profile executives it needs to take the initiative instead of waiting for the bad news to leak out.

The Coalition has once again repeated its now jaded argument against the NBN: there is no hard evidence to support the idea that we need the 100Mbps that the FTTH network will deliver. Maybe not, but there are portents aplenty. Coalition pundits just need to be a bit more visionary.
