Hi John,

Not-for-profit edtech charity Grok Academy’s five-week online programming course and interactive competition, the National Computer Science School Challenge (NCSS Challenge) is kicking off in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand on 29 July 2024.

The number of 4G handsets still in circulation that could lose access to Triple Zero when 3G networks have shut down has dwindled to 102,000, the government estimates.

Figures released by telco Vodafone reveal Australian travellers are spending thousands of dollars to replace and repair their mobile phones.

Open-access fibre infrastructure developer Tillman Fiber has secured an additional US$1 billion worth of financing for its deployment of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks throughout Florida.

Spanish wholesale operator Aire Networks has deployed Nokia’s mobile core solutions to modernise its network and improve customer experience.

Australian technology distributor HAT Distribution is thrilled to announce a new distribution agreement with software licensing automation company Licenseware.

And as always there's plenty more today, so for all the news please visit www.itwire.com.
