Optus chief Paul O'Sullivan received a total pay package of $2.1 million in the year to 31 March 2009, the company's annual report released today has revealed.
Telstra's former chief executive Sol Trujillo received a total remuneration of $9.06 million, including salary, bonuses and termination payments, for the 2008/09 financial year, it was revealed today.
Complaints against the telecommunications industry rose a whopping 54 per cent in the 2008/09 financial year, prompting the industry ombudsman to issue a warning to business and consumers.
The nation's largest telco Telstra this week revealed it intended to upgrade its tens of thousands of desktop computers to Windows 7 and would start testing Microsoft's operating system when it was released.
Telstra is still bestriding Aussie telecoms like a colossus, according to the latest report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) into how the country's telcos are faring.
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
A guy I know runs a tiling business, which as far as I can see involves his drinking lots of coffee, making lots of phone calls, and making sure that around a dozen different tilers do the actual hard work. As long as they're busy, he's making money. If he finds enough new business to keep them all going for two weeks, he can take off for Hawaii -- and still be making money.
I don't think I'm stepping out of line when I say that every good analysis combines facts and opinion.
