Exetel’s John Linton has passed away
news John Linton, the maverick chief executive of Internet service provider Exetel, has tragically passed away, according to several public notices published by Exetel staff this morning.
“Yesterday my dad was doing what he liked doing best. Eating at a nice restaurant, drinking nice wines, and talking about the state of the telecommunications market in Australia, and the various companies that make this up,” wrote Linton’s son James Linton on John Linton’s popular personal blog early this morning. “At lunch he suffered what was thought to be a mild stroke, and was immediately taken to St Vincent’s hospital. He was conscious in the ambulance, responding to their questions, but when he got to the hospital he had trouble breathing and they needed to put him into a medically induced coma and put him on a ventilator to help him breathe.”

Xero raises $15m, makes acquisition
news Accounting software firm Xero announced last week that it had raised a further AU$15.5 million from current strategic investors to maintain its future growth in Australia and worldwide. The New Zealand-based company also announced the acquisition of Max Solutions, a leading practice management company and developer of WorkflowMax, a job, time and invoice management solution.
Chris Ridd, Managing Director, Xero Australia said that both the new developments supported Xero’s rapid growth here in Australia and the rest of the world. “We continue to transform the accounting industry by helping them embrace the cloud. Many of our customers are WorkflowMax customers so this together with Paycycle gives us a very powerful combination,” Ridd stated. WorkflowMax was introduced in the market in early 2008.

NBN policy: Show us some detail, Conroy tells Turnbull
news Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has demanded that the Coalition disclose some basic details of its rival broadband policy, noting that Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has not substantially outlined the policy further in public since a landmark speech on the issue in the middle of 2011.
The clearest indication currently available of the Coalition’s rival telecommunications policy is contained in a speech given by Turnbull in August last year, in which he proposed focusing on upgrading the HFC cable networks operated by Telstra and Optus, splitting Telstra into wholesale and retail arms, and using wireless and satellite solutions to serve remote regions.

AFL rights: Optus, Telstra in a techno-legal time warp
This article is by Martin Hirst, an associate professor at Deakin University. It was first published on The Conversation and is re-published here with permission.
analysis Telecommunications giant Optus managed to convince the Federal Court in Sydney this week that there’s a legal blindspot in relation to its download pay-per-view service.
Telstra – given its business relationship with The National Rugby League (NRL) and Australian Football League (NFL) – had tried to prevent Optus from recording and re-broadcasting matches screened on free-to-air television. But Justice Steven Rares found Optus’s mobile television service didn’t breach the Copyright Act for a couple of reasons: Optus keeps separate recordings for each customer, and individual customers are responsible for requesting the recordings. So what’s going on here?
