  • NBN Co has rejected a challenge by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network to its demand forecasts, saying there is “strong and accelerating customer demand for higher speed and higher capacity connectivity.”

  • Telstra CEO Vicki Brady has argued that mobile networks are being underplayed in Australia’s AI policy debate, saying secure and reliable connectivity will be central to how most people, devices and machines interact with the technology.

  • NBN Co is moving into the test phase for its new FibreOne product to supply non-broadband services to developments. The telco has released a customer trial agreement for what it has dubbed managed service providers, which will use the product to support integrated communications network solutions.
