Hi John, The Australian Government has set out its policy objectives for the allocation of two spectrum bands as part of its program to support the delivery of “world class” telecommunications services nationally.
The Commonwealth Bank will provide itemised digital receipts through its app, following a deal with fintech provider Slyp. The receipts will be generated for card or digital wallet payments at participating retailers. Smartphone sales in the US have fallen by 21% year-on-year in the first quarter of the year, the technology analyst firm Counterpoint Research says, adding that this was driven by store closures and stay-at-home orders later in the quarter. Global technology provider Pitney Bowes has been hit by the Maze ransomware and the attackers have released a number of screenshots of the company's systems to prove their claims. Maze only attacks Windows systems. Australia’s electricity retailers and generators are prohibited from keeping consumer and small business electricity prices unnecessarily high when costs fall, under new guidelines issued by the competition regulator, the ACCC, aimed at protecting consumers and businesses from excessive electricity prices. The Coalition Government's plan to pay Australians to make up for the money they have lost due to either losing their jobs or the fact that their employers have no funds to pay them appears to be a curiously long-winded exercise, which may end up being of little use. And of course, there's plenty more so for all the news visit www.itwire.com. Have a great day!
