Hi John, Complaints by Australian telecommunications users about landline, mobile and Internet services fell in the last six months of 2018 but ACCAN lamented the fact that “tens of thousands of consumers have experienced unreliable telco services”.
A survey carried out by Deloitte Access Economics and the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association claims that 5G will lead to productivity improvements that will be worth $65 billion to the Australian economy by 2023 — the equivalent of 3.1% of GDP — but named no specific industries which would contribute to this massive increase. Australia’s Deakin University says it is “pushing the boundaries of what is possible between human interactions and artificial intelligence” with an investment of almost $33 million in its new Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (A²I²). Data centre company Equinix is collaborating with UK-based global law firm HFW in a move it says is aimed at building out the firm’s digital edge in key markets including Melbourne, Dubai, London, Hong Kong and Paris. Samsung is losing users in the US to Pixel and OnePlus smartphones, the analyst firm Counterpoint Research claims, pointing out that more than a third of those who bought the Google Pixel 3 and OnePlus 6T in the final quarter of 2018 were previous Samsung owners. Security company FireEye says it has been responding to a second attack by the group behind the Triton malware which was used to attack the Saudi Arabian oil company Saudi Aramco last year.
