The Communications Electrical Plumbing Union (CEPU) will tomorrow meet with Telstra for the first time under the leadership of the telco's new chief executive David Thodey.
Telstra chief financial officer John Stanhope yesterday outlined the increasing risk levels the Federal Government's National Broadband Network timeline faced if it were to opt for more "extreme" forms of separation for Telstra.
Telstra's broad strategy would remain unchanged, the telco's incoming chief executive David Thodey told journalists this morning, following confirmation of his appointment.
Key players in Australia's telecommunications industry have staked out their ground in a heavyweight industry conference today, with the government and Telstra backing the current telecomms regime and SingTel Optus crying foul.
Would-be successor to both Sol Truijillo and Ziggy Switkowski, David Moffatt has called it quits after eight years with Telstra.
As Telstra CEO David Thodey and CFO John Stanhope fronted a mob of concerned investors at the company's Investor Day this week, it became clear just how far removed the Telstra of today is compared to the Telstra of a year ago.
In the second of our two programs looking at the Senate Inquiry into the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment Bill, we hear from shareholders, bureaucrats and industry groups.
When Telstra launched its IT transformation in 2005, then chief operations officer Greg Winn said "IT is the root of all evil in the telco industry".
Iif the latest NBN scenario planning is right, David Thodey will have to accept that even an optimal outcome for both Telstra and the government will not deliver dramatic returns for Telstra's one million shareholders.
NBN Company executive chairman Mike Quigley and six other board members to be named this week have a series of straightforward "buy or build" decisions to make about Australia's fibre future.
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.
