  Ookla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.

  @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!

  if you’re considering a mobile/internet service provider, stay away from Telstra. their customer service is the worst i’ve experienced anywhere and the service itself is ****. Does anyone know how to get out of a plan without buying out? I’ve actually had enough.

  What's happening in my beautiful land down under? 1/10 CBA just dropped a record $10.98B profit, but mortgage demand is down 17%. Telstra is buying back $1B of its own stock while cutting 1,200 jobs. And the global AI compute backlog just blew past $104 billion. Here is what actually moved markets this week 🧵👇 2/10 First, the big picture: US inflation cooled to 3.4%, sending the S&P 500 to another record close above 7,798. Back home, the RBA held the cash rate steady at 4.35% for the fourth meeting in a row. Markets got the inflation numbers they wanted. Local reporting season, however, told a much more complicated story. 3/10 Commonwealth Bank delivered a massive $10.98 billion cash profit, with a full-year dividend of $5.05 per share. On paper, it looks like business as usual for Australia’s biggest lender. Under the hood, the pipeline tells a very different story. 4/10 CBA CEO Matt Comyn revealed mortgage applications dropped roughly 17% following the May federal budget tax changes on property investors. Investor lending took the hardest hit. As a result, CBA quietly trimmed its FY27 mortgage credit growth guidance down to 4-5%. The headline profit belongs to the past year. The slowdown belongs to the next one. 5/10 Telstra delivered $2.41B in net profit, lifted its dividend by 10.5%, and announced a fresh $1B share buyback. Yet its shares dropped around 4 to 5%. Why? Top-line revenue growth was soft. The strong bottom line relied heavily on cost-cutting, including 1,200 job cuts across the year. Investors want real growth, not just financial engineering. 6/10 The global AI compute crunch is getting wilder. Neocloud provider Nebius saw Q2 revenue rocket 454% to $582M, flipping from a loss to $236M in adjusted EBITDA. CoreWeave doubled its revenue to $2.6B and raised full-year guidance to over $12.4B. Its near-term GPU capacity is completely sold out with an eye-watering $104B backlog. 7/10 On the ASX, money quietly rotated out of miners and into healthcare heavyweights. CSL, Pro Medicus, ResMed, and Cochlear all caught a bid in a single session. With commodity prices wobbling, fund managers are ditching cyclical resources and hunting for steady, reliable earnings. 8/10 Rubbish turned into gold this week. Cleanaway Waste Management surged 15% after global private equity giant EQT dropped a $9.4 billion takeover bid at $3.13 a share. That is a 32% premium. Cleanaway’s board opened the books for a nine-week due diligence period and plans to recommend the deal if it locks in. 9/10 The takeaway: Bank profits are riding high on yesterday’s loans, but higher rates and tax changes are biting the lending pipeline. Meanwhile, Big Tech and infrastructure players are pouring billions into compute capacity that is already sold out years in advance. The divide between traditional lending and the compute economy is widening fast.

  I have some great stories regarding this while working for Telstra/Belong many years ago regarding the establishment of Telstra's 'Centre of Excellence' i.e. The Cut Salaries By 94% Factory. It destroyed 90% of non-binary customer service jobs based in Melbourne, plunging the Adventure Time fan-community of the city in to technical recession. It was a tale for the ages that I once posted and shortly after had to remove due to it's potentially defamatory nature. I'll post it again one day, but you'd have to DM me and swear to secrecy otherwise.
