The ISP that Telstra’s David Thodey was worried about is here
MyRepublic wants to give Australia’s internet service providers a run for their money when it launches its own broadband services over the NBN this month.
The Singapore-based ISP is going to market on 15 November with a consumer
broadband product priced at $59.99. The bundle comes with unlimited data and “the fastest NBN speeds available” in a customer’s area, up to 100Mbps.
MyRepublic co-founder and chief executive Malcolm Rodrigues said…..
the company can stay competitive because unlike incumbent ISPs, it is not bogged down by running legacy infrastructure.
“They have the old equipment and old routes and they’re not necessarily ready to throw it all out and start again. We don’t have that legacy, so we can take the best technology, the best infrastructure and put that all-in place to begin with,” he said.
He said that MyRepublic would be happy to grab five percent of Australia’s market share.
MyRepublic is soft-launching a consumer product today aimed at gamers, which for an additional $10 per month, will prioritise traffic from gaming services for faster speeds and lower latency.
Apple Pay expands in Australia to 31 small banks
Full list
https://www.cuscal.com.au/apple-pay-coming-soon
Cuscal will “soon” enable Apple Pay for the likes of Teachers Mutual Bank, My State, Credit Union Australia, Defence Bank, and Australian Unity, among others.
The tap and go payments platform first landed in Australia for American Express users, but quickly expanded to ANZ Bank in a partnership that is yet to be repeated by any other major financial institution.
Instead, Westpac, NAB, the Commonwealth Bank, and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank are pushing the ACCC to let them band together to pressure Apple into opening up the NFC chip in its iPhones.
They also want to be able to pass on the costs of using Apple Pay to customers – something Apple currently restricts in its Apple Pay contracts.
The banks argue that Apple’s refusal to open up the NFC chip for banks to run digital wallets on its phones is anti-competitive, while Apple says doing so would compromise the security of its devices.
Coles and the nation’s retail lobby have lent their voices to the banks’ fight.
The ACCC’s ruling on the request is expected imminently.
