The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
Does anyone seriously believe that Australian businesses and government agencies manage security any better than the US or UK?
For a large-scale storage project, it's not uncommon to go out to tender for the best deal but when was the last time you had to put together a tender for a document management room?
The Olympics are nearly over, and the Australian team deserves kudos for an excellent performance all around.
