Independent video series Two-Minute Mobile satirises Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo's time so far at the top of Australia's largest telco in this short film.
In these two audio recordings, Nigel Dews, the CEO of mobile carrier 3, firstly goes through the current state of the company in detail and then deals with tough questions from reporters and analysts.
In 2005, Canadian wireless company Research in Motion (RIM) came from relative obscurity to steal a global lead in e-mail equipped mobile devices with its BlackBerry. Could 2008 be the year that BlackBerry falls off its perch?
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.
The nation's largest telco will commence trials of its third generation mobile network in a few days. Meanwhile, BigPond beefs up its billing system.
The level of ignorance from Australian politicians about technology can be staggering. Here's some of the worst examples we've seen, and a short recipe for resolving the issue.
For the first time, Kaz chief Mike Foster tells the full story about how the Peter Kazacos' baby was treated within Telstra, and how the deal with Fujitsu went down.
We can now conclude that Telstra went backwards during the Trujillo era, and that the board's decision in June 2005 to sack Ziggy Switkowski and install a team of expensive Americans to run the company was a mistake.
Net neutrality has the superficial attraction of 1960's free love, argues Telstra's Justin Milne, until you realise that one party gets all the gratification while the other bears all the costs.
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.
IBRS advisor Guy Cranswick argues that the use of net neutrality is an aggressive manoeuvre to retain market share and withhold change in the telecommunications market.
From dead parrots to ACCC lawsuits, the National Broadband Network and Fake Stephen Conroy, it's like Telstra is lost in T.S. Eliot's epic poem The Wasteland.
It is clear that Trujillo's frenetic period at the helm of Telstra is drawing to a close and he is likely to be gone (of his own volition) before the end of the year.
2008 was a cracker year for telco in Australia, with so many huge events happening that those at the beginning of the year have been drowned by the importance of those at the end.
commentary: It is not a foregone conclusion that the successor to outgoing Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo will be internally sourced.
