Qualified telecommunication facilities and infrastructure complement the convergence of technology applications. One of the most widely used by the public is Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms. However, it raises a new problem as domestic operator service providers are aggrieved by OTT platforms that are gaining more popularity despite their unclear legal standing. The Indonesian government responded by issuing a number of regulations. This study describes the regulations governing telecommunications and OTT platforms in Indonesia as well as pointing out the consequences and challenges of the issuance of these new regulations by taking into account the conditions of the national electronic system. This study applied a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach. Data was collected through an online literature review with analytical descriptive data processing. The results of this study elucidate the four latest regulations governing the telecommunications service sector and OTT platforms. These regulations are complementary, even though digital taxes are still seen as challenges in the form of whose outcomes are considered to have not touched the Indonesian people in general. In this instance, it demonstrates that regulations are complementary, as is the case with natural law theory, and that the law adapts to social life.

Individual adaptation plays an important role in using enterprise information technology (IT). In the life cycle of enterprise IT in the organization, various factors can change IT and its related work tasks. Therefore, users have to adapt to these changes. Since the use of information technology depends on the capabilities acquired through individual adaptation behaviours, it is essential to examine these behaviours in more detail. This study presents the factors affecting individual adaptation behaviours as a model. The results of the experimental test of the model show that technology experience and IT knowledge affect an individual’s perception of task difficulty, and personality traits moderate the relationship between task difficulty and individual adaptation behaviours. One of the advantages of the proposed model is separating the roles of managers and users in different periods of enterprise IT adaptation. Also, paying attention to users’ personal characteristics in explaining the differences in adaptation behaviours among employees is another advantage of this model.

The Charles Todd Oration is an annual event run by TelSoc and is named for Charles Todd, the Postmaster-General of South Australia, who was responsible for completing the Overland Telegraph Line from Darwin to Adelaide in 1874. The 2022 Oration was delivered in Sydney on 21 October 2022 by The Hon. Michelle Rowland, MP, Minister for Communications. At the time she had been in the role for about 5 months following the change of government at the Federal election on 21 May 2022. The Minister used her speech to set out the Government’s aims for the communications sector and its initial priorities, and to reflect on her appreciation of the circumstances and potential for the sector, its stakeholders and end-users of communications services. References and endnotes have been added by Jim Holmes, Chair of TelSoc, to enable further reference by interested readers on the matters noted, and for the accuracy and relevance of which TelSoc accepts complete responsibility.

This report, prepared by a working group of TelSoc, examines the progress during 2022 towards a national Digital Communications Strategy in Australia, using TelSoc’s report on the need for such a strategy, first published in 2020, as a basis for the dimension upon which progress might be measured. TelSoc made a similar assessment of progress in 2021. The progress assessment is an important public statement that reflects TelSoc’s beliefs in reporting and accountability in this important area of public policy.

In the early 21st century, governments developed national broadband plans to supply high-speed broadband networks for the emerging digital economy and to enable digital services delivery. Most national broadband plans are now focused on moving to ever faster networks, but there is a growing need to develop national digital communications strategies to focus on the demand-side of the broadband “eco-system”. In this paper, we outline the approaches adopted by the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Korea to assist in the development (or renewal) of Australia’s national broadband strategy, or, as we prefer, national digital communications strategy. The paper draws on the lessons learned from the case-study countries and the recent pandemic and considers some theoretical aspects of the broadband ecosystem. We conclude by suggesting a process to re-evaluate Australia’s national digital communications strategy as it rolls forward, and to incorporate recent international trends to develop demand-side policies to enable greater adoption and use of existing broadband infrastructure and digital services.

Smart Healthcare can use the Internet of Things (IoT) to broaden the reach of digital healthcare by collecting patient data remotely using sensors. This can reduce Patient Turnaround Time (PTAT) and enable high-quality care to be provided. PTAT is the length of time from when a patient arrives at the hospital until they are allowed to return home. Malaysia's Ministry of Health claimed in 2016 that healthcare at government hospitals continues to encounter issues in providing high-quality care to patients, particularly in terms of the PTAT of patients who receive treatment versus those who are sent home without treatment. In this paper, we propose a Bluetooth Low Energy-based solution that optimizes PTAT using low calibrated transmission power, allowing hospitals to enable Real-time Patient Localization and Patient Movement Monitoring. The RSSI value is used to calculate the distance between a wearable device and the Access Points (AP) situated throughout the facility. When a patient passes an AP, data such as the wearable device name and RSSI value are taken and saved in a database, to determine the patient's location. A proof of concept was conducted using three AP points and 8 wearable devices to gauge distance measurement.

Digital voting is increasingly important in both established and emerging democracies. Some of the advantages of digital voting are faster vote count and tabulation; accurate results; increased voters’ participation and convenience; and effective handling of complex electoral system formats that require laborious counting procedures. However, transparency, credibility, and integrity concerns, as well as the limited possibility of recount, usually make traditional digital voting systems unpopular. Digital voting using blockchain technology, however, is safe, transparent, and immutable, which makes it a suitable choice for future decentralized voting systems. In particular, the Ethereum blockchain is proposed as an appropriate platform for the backbone of an e-voting system due to its widespread use, transparency, consistency and provision of smart contracts. Initial piloting on the implementation of a blockchain-based voting framework in Jordan shows promising results on its transparency and integrity by incorporating a space for representatives and observers to monitor the election procedure and results as an additional measure to ensure its efficiency and reliability. The uptake of the proposed system calls for further debate and dialogue amongst governments and people, especially in developing countries where democracy is still in its infancy.

A historic paper from 2010, republished here, describes a demonstration of wireless transmission between Victoria and Tasmania by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company in 1906. The subsequent debate and delays in adopting the new wireless communication system highlight the influence of imperial politics on Australian telecommunications, post Federation. The impasse with Marconi over his initial refusal to license his patent was eventually resolved by the creation of Amalgamated Wireless Holdings (AWA) in 1911.
