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.
Australia’s proposed national broadband network (NBN) will be scrutinised from all angles when industry heavyweights meet at a forum later this month, which the communications industry’s peak body, Communications Alliance, says is critical to ensure the NBN delivers the capabilities, services and outcomes required to drive innovation, efficiency and an enhanced lifestyle for Australia.
According to the CA, the two half-day ‘NBN
Industry Connection’ forums it will host, will bring the industry
together to kick-start its response to the Government’s proposed
regulatory reforms to facilitate the NBN rollout.
The forums will be held in Sydney on Tuesday 19 May and in Melbourne on
Wednesday 20 May, and CA’s CEO, Anne Hurley, says “there is a real buzz
in the Australian communications industry today as our digital future
comes closer to reality.”
“This makes it the ideal time to bring the industry together to discuss
the big issues around the operation of the NBN and the wholesale
services it will provide. The focus of the forums will be firmly upon
the wholesale services and the regulatory environment for the NBN.”
Hurley says that information from the forums and follow-up discussions
will provide the basis for industry input to the Implementation Study
which will be conducted by the federal government before legislative
changes are undertaken.
“We will start these discussions from a strong base as the industry has
been actively planning for the transition to a national broadband
network for the past five years and has already agreed on a policy
framework for a converged future.”
The forums will be facilitated by telecommunications professional .Gary
McLaren, and Hurley says they are expected to attract a wide
cross-section of participants including carriers, CSPs, ISPs,
applications providers, content service providers, equipment suppliers,
and tiers of governments.
