The Digital Economy Strategy, recently announced at ceBIT Australia 2011, has been warmly received by the industry. But analysts are less certain of the strategy.

The Federal Government is providing $1.4 million additional funding for the commercialisation of NICTA’s gigabit wireless, or ‘GiFi’ technology.

Organisations with logicstics operations might be able to realise greater efficiencies and then cost savings through research and software being developed by NICTA.

NICTA is looking for partners to get on board its Australian Centre for Broadband Innovation (ACBI) initiative.

Australia’s impending National Broadband Network (NBN) has garnered considerable interest internationally, according to Broadband Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy.

The court stoush between iiNet and AFACT may provide the basis for new legislation addressing online copyright issues, Broadband and Communications Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy has revealed.

The ISP has one foot in the grave. Or at least once the Federal Government’s National Broadband Network (NBN) is rolled out, the term Internet Service Provider (ISP) may become an endangered species, according to the director of the recently-established Institute for a Broadband Enabled Society (IBES).

NICTA’s massive multiplayer online game (MMO) platform, Badumna, is set to hit the market by early next year.

NICTA CEO, David Skellern, who has been in his post since 2007 and has 20 years in the ICT sector, was one of several keynote speakers discussing strategies for Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN) at the recent CeBIT show. He sat down with ARN to discuss the viability of the largest ICT infrastructure project in Australia’s history, as well as Internet filtering and why our industry needs more unity. Skellern will be retiring next year to head over to the UK.
