  • Australia has joined a US-led coalition of 25 governments committed to a 12-month action plan covering secure 6G supply chains, standards, investment and national policy.

  • The new chief executive of Leading Edge Data Centres believes there are growing opportunities for the regionally focused operator to support the “diffusion” of AI infrastructure outside capacity-strained metros. Joe Craparotta told CommsDay that he also sees the potential for Leading Edge to operate significantly larger facilities than it has since its 2018 founding.

  • Australia’s data centre capacity is forecast to more than double to 4.1GW by 2030, but S&P Global has warned that power delivery delays, changing rack densities and the risk of facility obsolescence could shape which projects proceed.

  • Internet and phone services were the fourth-most common products purchased through unsolicited selling, according to Australian Competition and Consumer Commission research.
