New Zealand’s competition regulator The Commerce Commission is seeking feedback on proposals it says would make it easier for Kiwi consumers to compare telecommunications products and providers.

A trend in people shifting from fixed to mobile communications is continuing, according to the telecommunications industry regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

Optus has launched a Traveller SIM offering visitors to Australia using the service free mobile calls and text messages.

Optus is compensating customers over its failure to reveal it was providing less data than it had advertised after the competition watchdog, the ACCC, accepted an undertaking from the telco to credit data back to consumers.

Broadband provider TPG has introduced a new $1 pay as you go plan and an additional 100 international minutes to its unlimited AU Calls & SMS mobile plans in its latest market offerings.

Australia’s biggest telco Telstra has caught the Christmas spirit, opening up its payphone network for free local, national and mobile calls until 28 December.

Vodafone is predicting a massive uplift in network traffic over the holiday period with data usage expected to balloon by 70% and SMS traffic to double over the New Year period.

For the first time the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has decided on a price for mobile network operators to charge for receiving SMS messages, today setting a price of 0.03 cents per SMS.

The price mobile operators charge each other and fixed-line network operators for receiving calls on their mobile networks would be subject to a new regulated price regime under a proposal by the consumer regulator.
