Would-be successor to both Sol Truijillo and Ziggy Switkowski, David Moffatt has called it quits after eight years with Telstra.
Telstra has confirmed it closed the shutters on its nowwearetalking.com.au website, which at times has been used as a mouthpiece to promote its telecommunications sector regulatory ambitions.
Long-time Alcatel-Lucent veteran Mike Quigley has been appointed executive chairman of the National Broadband Network Company and is expected to eventually be its chief executive officer and managing director.
Telstra is expected to appoint its enterprise and government chieftain David Thodey as its new chief executive as early as today, according to multiple reports.
Telstra shareholders have unequivocally voted in favour of the remuneration packages currently awarded to its top executives.
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.
Telstra's antics have certainly kept the readers of Full Duplex amused this year. And as 2006 draws to an end, the laughs just keep on coming.
Like many reporters engaged in the shady business of covering the Australian telecommunications sector, I spent Friday, 6 October, at Telstra's mammoth eight hour investor briefing in Sydney.
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.
Virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry has their say in the Senate Standing Committee's public hearing into the pending legislation to split up Telstra, in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
The appointment of Telstra's new management represents a break from the company's past of friction with the Federal Government and regulators. But, however it is presented, Telstra's stance towards those seeking to reduce it has to continue to be aggressively defensive.
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.
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.
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.
This morning, Telstra executives are limbering up behind the scenes as they get ready for their big yearly showing to shareholders at the annual general meeting.
