  Hello @Telstra , why are we yet again experiencing very slow internet on our mobile phones in Laverton Western Australia? Do a proper upgrade to counter the 500+ FIFO`s in town every day. Also as soon as schools out the speed reduces exponentially.

  This chart puts Starlink’s scale into perspective. At roughly $11.4B in annualized revenue, Starlink is already approaching the revenue scale of established telecom giants such as Singtel and sits in the same neighborhood as Telstra. That is remarkable considering Starlink is a relatively young satellite broadband network competing against companies that have spent decades building terrestrial infrastructure, spectrum portfolios, and massive subscriber bases. The important signal here is not just the absolute revenue, but how quickly Starlink has reached a level that takes traditional telecom companies decades to build. However, the comparison also exposes the problem. Telecom is a huge business, but it is not necessarily a high-growth business. Companies like China Mobile, Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, AT&T and NTT generate tens or even hundreds of billions in annual revenue, yet the market typically assigns them much lower growth expectations because connectivity eventually becomes a mature utility. Starlink has a better growth profile today because it is still penetrating underserved markets, adding capacity, expanding internationally, and converting new customers. But as the revenue base moves from $10B toward $20B, $30B and beyond, the question becomes whether Starlink can maintain venture-like growth rates while operating inside what is ultimately a telecom market. The bullish argument is that Starlink is not exactly a traditional telecom company. Its satellite constellation gives SpaceX a global distribution network that terrestrial operators struggle to replicate, particularly in rural areas, developing markets, maritime, aviation and other difficult-to-connect environments. There is also optionality around direct-to-device connectivity, enterprise services, government contracts and potentially other satellite applications. If those businesses become meaningful revenue streams, Starlink could evolve from simply being "satellite internet" into a broader space infrastructure platform. That would justify a much more aggressive valuation than simply capitalizing Starlink like another telecom operator. But this is where I think investors need to be careful with the SpaceX hype. A $11.4B revenue run-rate sounds enormous, but revenue alone does not determine the quality of the business. Starlink requires enormous capital expenditure to deploy and replenish satellites, ground infrastructure and user terminals, while bandwidth economics and competition will determine how much of that revenue eventually becomes free cash flow. The really interesting question is not whether Starlink can reach $20B or $30B in revenue. It is whether SpaceX can continue compounding revenue rapidly without Starlink becoming just another giant, capital-intensive telecom business. My take: SpaceX is incredibly cool, and Starlink reaching ~$11.4B of annual revenue is genuinely impressive. But if the main growth engine for the SpaceX story is ultimately just telecom, I'm much less excited. A bigger Starlink is great, but a bigger telecom company alone does not create an extraordinary valuation. The real upside comes if Starlink becomes the cash-flow engine that funds a much larger SpaceX ecosystem: launch, defense, direct-to-device, satellite infrastructure and eventually entirely new space-based businesses. Starlink is impressive but starlink alone is not enough. $SPCX

  Why ******** is there princess bubblegum from adventure time on the side of the Telstra phone box???

  @Telstra Nope just complete loss of 5G. I guess the venue is in East Perth so it's probably that. Any ETA on fix? Seems sporadic

  @rwallace67 @SimonCotter62 We have 2 mobiles with telstra, only because there's no other option at present! Everything else has been shut down, saving around $400 a month. Added starlink (home & mini) for less than $200/month, so after 6 months all the hardware is paid for as well. No regrets, it's v good!

  When ChatGPT Beats High-Priced Lawyers in Court 1/9 A Sydney uni lecturer just beat a university’s legal team in court using ChatGPT. Telstra bumped its CEO’s pay right after cutting jobs and crashing the network. And researchers found a way to hack a Boeing 737 with a device the size of a 20-cent coin. Here is the tech news that actually matters this week 🧵👇 2/9 Greg Baker, an IT lecturer at Macquarie University, took on his employer at the Fair Work Commission over new casual conversion rules. The university brought trained lawyers. Baker brought ChatGPT. The tribunal ruled in his favour, handing him a permanent part-time role in a historic test of untested employment laws. 3/9 This is why people get excited about everyday AI. Hiring a workplace lawyer to fight an employer costs thousands before you even walk through the door. An LLM can comb through legislation, draft arguments, and help someone represent themselves without spending a fortune. The real shift isn't AI replacing judges. It's giving ordinary workers the legal firepower usually reserved for big HR departments. 4/9 Anthropic confirmed Claude will soon add invisible watermarks to text and files to meet EU rules. The watermark stays attached even after you copy, paste, or tweak the wording. Some users are already cancelling subscriptions over it. Nobody wants to hand in a report they spent hours editing only for an automated filter to flag the entire thing as machine-written. 5/9 Telstra decided to give its CEO a base pay bump. The timing is wild: • A massive nationwide network outage in July • 1,200 staff cut across the year • A slump in top-line revenue • Threats to freeze regional mobile investments if the ACCC pushes for domestic roaming Corporate boards have an incredible ability to read the room completely backwards. 6/9 A routine "system update" triggered a major Mastercard outage across Australia this week. Shoppers got stuck at checkouts with full trolleys and tap-and-go cards declining everywhere. We keep pushing towards a cashless economy, but our payment rails fall over whenever someone pushes the wrong configuration file. 7/9 Security researchers proved they could compromise a Boeing 737 using a coin-sized hardware device. It took them roughly 60 seconds to gain access. Physical plane safety used to be about rivets and engines. Modern aviation is networks, firmware, and bus architectures. If you can physically plug into a port, the jet is just another computer with wings. 8/9 Retailers are now testing facial recognition scans at the register so you can pay for your flat white with your face. It saves about two seconds compared to tapping a phone. In return, a commercial database gets your biometric scan. Hard pass on trading facial geometry for a cappuccino. 9/9 The thread tying all of this together: AI is levelling the playing field for individuals against giant institutions. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure (planes, payments, telcos) is becoming more fragile by the day. Tech works best when it empowers people, not when it creates single points of failure.

  It's A Hoax 🇦🇺 (@Itsahoax123) reported 20 minutes ago

  @KataKez Telstra can already spam everyone connected to cell tower without this ****. Think about the times when you have travelled somewhere and you get that text saying something like they are “doing work on this network over the next 5 days”

  @ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.
