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.
More than 20 million accounts have been registered on Sony's PlayStation Network. The company doesn't say how many are active, but it's still a milestone.
The PlayStation Network was launched in 11 November 2006 to connect PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable users and then spread to more than 50 other countries and regions.
It provides online gaming, video chat, messaging and downloadable content. With over 70 million consoles shipped, there's still room for Sony to further boost usage.
According to Sony officials, more than 600 PS3 games incorporate online features.
Although the service is free, some of the content - notably the movies and TV episodes that are offered in the US - is charged for, and total sales exceed $US180 million.
That's not a fortune, but it's not too bad for a service that's mainly restricted to the US and a minority platform.
Before PS3 fans take umbrage, that's merely an observation that more PCs are shipped in one quarter than the all-time cumulative PS3 and PSP sales.
