The nation's largest telco today claimed success for delivering a key part of its internal technology transformation -- a new AU$1.5 billion Internet Protocol-based (IP) network core dubbed "Next IP".
Telstra this morning confirmed the departure of chief executive Sol Trujillo, with his last day to be June 30.
Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo's successor will need to make conciliatory gestures towards the government and reconsider the company's strategy to remain relevant, analysts have concluded in the wake of this morning's announcement that Trujillo will depart the company on June 30.
Telstra has a history of chewing up top IT managers and spitting them out.
Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo said the abrupt resignation of chief information officer Fiona Balfour will "not at all" delay the telco's massive internal IT transformation program.
Telstra changed so much internally under Sol Trujillo's watch that it seems likely the company's next CEO will be drawn from a small pool of executives who are already well practised in the Way of Sol.
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.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
There is no single candidate right now better suited to succeed Sol Trujillo as Telstra chief executive than the telco's current consumer marketing and channels chief David Moffatt.
If mainstream media cannot be trusted to provide an objective, poison-free analysis of the issues of the day, then it is the responsibility of this government specifically, my department to come to the citizenry's rescue.
Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo's successor will need to make conciliatory gestures towards the government and reconsider the company's strategy to remain relevant, analysts have concluded in the wake of this morning's announcement that Trujillo will depart the company on June 30.
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".
