Recently, Vodafone was up in arms over the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) decision to block domestic roaming on Telstra’s extensive mobile network. The decision could backfire if Vodafone Australia wins the court case disputing the ACCC’s right to decide about who has access to regional and rural customers. It could end up Continue reading…

It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s on the cards. That’s the introduction of the e-SIM, or embedded SIM, in which the equivalent of a SIM card is permanently installed into a smart phone.

Despite the fact that Telstra’s 4G network has the best coverage in the country that doesn’t mean it simply monopolises its situation by not offering any additions to its plans that don’t attract additional costs.
