Telstra says it has invested $1.5 billion in what will be the largest integrated fixed line and wireless Internet system in the world.

Australia’s largest telecommunications company is moving towards a full IP driven network that will allow telco to handle over 3 Billion calls a second via voice over ip technology. The Next IP network technology works with its Next G mobile network and will be rolled out reaching 95 per cent of Australian businesses. The network will have a core operating speed of 92 tetrabytes per second. This could also have a number of environmental positives as full screen quality high definition video conferencing could be a reality.
