  • The win of Donald Trump in yesterday's United States presidential election will have profound effects on the global telecom sector, not least with the propulsion of SpaceX head Elon Musk to the centre of American policy making. One big change could be a compulsion on big tech companies to contribute to telecom universal service costs.

  • The federal government's decision to end the satcomm-focused Joint Project 9102 tender process with Lockheed Martin reflects Defence's view that it "needed to have a multi-orbital approach sooner," a Senate estimates hearing was told yesterday.

  • The Federal Opposition has criticised what it said was a lack of government messaging around last week's 3G closure and the concomitant impact on some blocked 4G phones.

  • Goodman Group has continued to deepen its push into the data centre market, with the company expecting a significant portion of the data centre projects begun in FY25 to be delivered on a turnkey basis and potentially have a role in delivering an operating solution for facilities.
