TechnologyOne has decided not to increase the pay packets of its executives and directors this year on the back of its 2009 results released today.
Optus chief executive Paul O'Sullivan over the weekend said no decision had been made within parent Singapore Telecommunications to float the Australian subsidiary as a separate company.
A spokesperson for Pipe Networks' potential new parent, SP Telemedia, has pointed to Optus as a prime example of how it can successfully operate a wholesale and retail telco.

How on earth can organisations justify paying their IT executives millions of dollars in bonuses, or in the case of the public sector, handing out salaries of half a million dollars?
The proposed buyout of Pipe Networks by SP Telemedia is an absolute travesty for Australia's telecommunications industry and will be overwhelmingly negative for customers, Pipe Networks staff, shareholders and the industry as a whole.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
The profit motive of cybercriminals has caused the total number of known malware threats to double from 250,000 to 500,000 in just one year. "Essentially, in one year we did 20 years of work," says F-Secure's senior security specialist, Patrik Runald.
