Telstra

Telstra CEO Vicki Brady said the operator’s ambition to become an “AI-fuelled” organisation and leader in Australia will only be achieved through ongoing collaboration with partners, while investments in talent and cloud-based infrastructure will also play a crucial role. 

Telstra booked profit and revenue gains in its mobile business in its fiscal H1 2024 (ending 31 December 2023) on the back of customer additions, ARPU growth and cost controls.

Telstra reportedly achieved a target of securing renewable energy sources equivalent to 100 per cent of its power usage by 2025 after forging a deal with Global Power Generation for a solar farm in the state of Queensland.

Telstra was fined AUD3 million ($2 million) by Australia's communications watchdog after an investigation found the operator charged customers for inactive internet services over an 11-year period.

Telstra was penalised again, having identified additional violations of consumer privacy and safety rules after Australia’s communications watchdog put monitoring arrangements in place as part of a compliance improvement programme.

During our Unwrapped Digital Event week, Justin Springham interviewed Iskra Nikolova, Network & Infrastructure Executive, Telstra on 5G mmWave: Fact and fiction.

Telstra revealed plans to acquire cloud services company Versent and a subsidiary for AUD267. 5 million ($171. 9 million) to support the operator’s tech services business Telstra Purple and drive growth.
