  • The Australian Communications Consumer Action Network has called for NBN Co to spell out the benefits of its fibre upgrade program to be in clear, monetised terms and assessed against the price impact for consumers.

  • The shift from text-based to video-based AI training and the accelerating effect of Jevons Paradox are set to drive a significant increase in AI workloads in Australia, fuelling new demand for domestic data centre infrastructure and raising questions about energy sustainability, according to Deloitte national TMT lead Peter Corbett.

  • Only 36% of Australians and 34% of New Zealanders report having trust in AI systems, according to new global research from KPMG.

  • Phil Britt's Rural Fibre Co has set up a retail arm that will offer sharply priced high-speed symmetrical services on the Gippsland network, with the first customers expected to be connected in early October.

Commsday Summit 2025

CommsDay Summit is the forum for Australia’s top telecoms leaders: CEOs of our major telecom network operators and retailers, senior leaders from the world’s top telecom technology providers and the heads of Australia’s telecom regulatory agencies and major co-regulatory stakeholders.

The Summit attracts around 400 speakers and delegates: a who’s who of all the people you need to meet and talk with in Australian telecommunications, but intimate enough that you can network effectively and not get lost in the crowd.

The annual Commsday Edison awards will be bookable separately at a later date.
