Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
On the Software front, U.S. consumers spent an extra 15 percent on electronic fun this December, sales hitting US$2.75 billion (a yearly increase of a whopping 26 percent bringing the total to US$10.96 billion)
