Alcatel Under Fire Down Under

Ray Le Maistre writes on Light Reading:

A multibillion-dollar contract awarded to Alcatel by Telstra Corp. has come under scrutiny after questions were raised about alleged favoritism and the vendor's previous performance for the Australian incumbent.

In November 2005, Alcatel was awarded a $2.55 billion contract as a lead contractor in Telstra's infrastructure upgrade.

Now, though, questions are being raised about that award and links between Telstra's CEO, Sol Trujillo, who joined the carrier in June 2005, and the vendor.
