Great job, thief. Just days after
Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo had his HTC handset
stolen at Mobile World Congress, the guy has decided that enough is enough. All kidding aside, Sol Trujillo has indeed announced his intentions to vacate his seat and return home to the United States. During his four years as head honcho, the Australian operator has managed to do quite well for itself, and as they say, there's no better time to leave than while on top. He has vowed to keep pressing on until June 30th, after which he'll hop a (presumably first class) flight back to the US of A and watch Telstra attempt to fill his shoes -- probably from a sweet shack in Key West, if we had to guess.

Not only during his tenure did he manage to dramatically slow advance of telecommunications infastructure in Australia in futile attempts to keeps Telstra's monopoly hold on the market. His actions also pissed the government off so much that telstra has been excluded from the process of setting up the nations new national broadband network. Likely to seriously harm shareholders prospects in the future.
A little give in the early days would have been the right thing to do and would have almost certainly have positioned the carrier better in the long run.
Good riddance!
