Network vendor Alcatel has scorned a proposal floated by Telstra's major competitors that would see the nation's broadband infrastructure cooperatively upgraded.
Alcatel has launched its AU$4 million new Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) Centre of Excellence in Sydney, called Innovation Central.
Telstra has defended itself against claims its chief executive Sol Trujillo last year showed favouritism in awarding a lucrative deal to a supplier with which he had been associated in previous roles.
One of French network vendor Alcatel's most senior executives is back in town as the vendor continues to push for a deal that would see Telstra construct a new AU$3 billion fibre broadband network.
The cancellation of Telstra's proposed fibre to the node broadband network has hit Alcatel's bottom-line, with several billion dollars being cut out of a deal between the two announced last November.
