Time for Sol Trujillo to go as well.

… SOL Trujillo’s right-hand man at Telstra and the main architect of the group’s $12 billion networks and technology overhaul has suddenly quit the company and will return to America in two weeks.

Wouldn’t be anything to do with a totally blotched NBN strategy at all?

It is time for Sol to go.

Life in Sol’s slow lane

Mr Trujillo ”did some good things but he overplayed his hand in thinking Telstra is the only company that could do certain things in the telecommunications space in Australia.”
