  • A South Australian locality with no recorded population and the ruins of a Lutheran church and school has been named by Nasdaq-listed IREN as the site of an 800MW AI data centre campus: one of the biggest planned in Australia to date with a likely cost of between $9 billion and $13.5 billion.

  • TPG Telecom said that spectrum licence renewal prices will impose a $2.1 billion n cost on the company over five years from 2028 to 2032, with the mobile operator arguing it will restrain competition and investment and create upward pressure on mobile pricing.

  • The Australian Telecommunications Alliance has stressed that existing regulation already requires carriers to support Triple Zero access during outages, after the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network commissioned a new survey asking consumers if they would support such regulation.

  • Superloop has upgraded its earnings guidance, with EBITDA expected to be in the range of $118 to $122 million, up from previous guidance of $112 to $120 million.
