The year is 2015 and local Melbourne Sweeney real estate agent Melissa Hansson has just stepped into her 2014 Honda Civic. Moments earlier Melissa sat at her networked computer and downloaded the latest Green Day Spill Baby album, then clicked a button in her iTunes software to push the latest music playlist to her iTelevision, [...]
Trading Post closes down print versions! Ron Walker saves Fairfax?
When Telstra paid AUD $636 million for he Trading Post in 2004 many questioned yet another wasted acquisition for the Telco giant (the list is long). Today those questions have been vindicated as Telstra has now shut down the 22 print versions of the Trading Post to concentrate on the online edition. Another hit will [...]
Dumb and Dumber Awards 2007
Every year since 2004 I have been adding my own dumb and dumber awards. Usually is it a hard slog getting so many out the door, but why was 2007 different? Anyway sit back and have a giggle at some of the dumbest moments in real estate and technology for 2007. PBL & MICROSOFT 1. [...]

In my humble opinion this is a pathetic campaign aimed at keeping its monopoly as Australia pay amazingly high fees for its fixed line services and on the whole have a terrible broadband infrastructure and the customer [...]
Poor Tesltra
This past 4 weeks it has been increasingly obvious that the US led team at Telstra is not happy with regulations forced upon them by the Federal Liberal Government. Telstra’s argument is that regulation imposed on the giant is unfair and it stifles innovation and therefore is not good for consumers. (cough cough, splutter, splutter) [...]
Telstra’s Dilemma – Google Talk goes mainstream!
Do you think Telstra would have called a few meetings over the past few days regarding VOIP? You bet your life they did! For the first time in history we had all major TV news, newspapers, radio all covering the news that Google has entered into FREE telephone calls through their Google Talk software. I [...]
Goodbye Telstra?
With the Howard Government elected for a record fourth term and more than likely having control (or near) of the Senate Australia is in for an interesting time ahead. Industrial reform, sale of Telstra and Media ownership laws are going to be key issues over the next 12 months. What can we expect?
