Over the past 72 hours I’ve had two people contact me saying they’ve heard that Telstra may be negotiating with Linden Lab to have Australian-based Second Life servers. This syncs with some comments made by Telstra’s General Manager, BigPond Innovation, Jason Romney at a seminar I attended this week. There’s no great surprise really – Telstra is Australia’s largest ISP and also has the largest SL investment and anything that improves the lag in Second Life will be welcome.

We’ve contacted Telstra to confirm any further details.
