Network vendor Alcatel has scorned a proposal floated by Telstra's major competitors that would see the nation's broadband infrastructure cooperatively upgraded.
Nortel Networks was disappointed to miss out in Telstra's recent round of billion dollar networking hardware contracts, but last week warned the winners they had better shape up or face being shipped out.
Telstra cut around 1,000 full-time staff positions in the six months from June 30 last year and has commenced the network buildouts it announced in November.
Executive chairman and chief executive of NBN Co Limited Mike Quigley will receive $1.95 million a year for his efforts.
The nation's largest telco Telstra today said it would build a new submarine fibre telecommunications cable between Australia and Hawaii.
Bill Zikou is coming back after five years in the Balkans to head up Ericsson Australia ... but is he up to the task?

Alcatel-Lucent's optical network terminal (ONT) equipment was not considered suitable for an open access fibre deployment similar to the future NBN roll-out at a greenfield estate in Victoria, according to the project's builder.
Mike Quigley and Doug Campbell's long-standing relationships with Telstra and few of its rivals will lead Australia's telecommunications industry to question privately whether Telstra will receive a phenomenal level of access to the NBN decision-making processes.
Technology is allowing workers to stay in contact no matter where they are. How do you choose the right combination of hardware, software, data transport, and voice transport, then secure the whole lot and make sure your organisation is set up to take advantage?
Although the benefits and potential savings are well known, businesses have long been taking a wait-and-see approach to voice over IP. But will the aggressive movements of carriers and telcos force businesses to act?
The Alcatel One Touch 320 lacks many of the features that grace modern mobile phones, but an ultra-low price point should appeal to people who just want to talk.
The Alcatel One Touch 735 is a reasonable mid-range mobile handset, let down by a very basic problem. Read our Australian review.
Ericsson's hook for the T68 is the splendour of a mobile screen capable of 256 colours. Is that enough to justify its price tag?
