Many years ago Telstra really thought they were 'all that' (and a bag of xxxl potato chips). They believed Sensis, their woeful search engine, (now in 2011 powered by Google. Ah sweet irony.) was what Australian's wanted. Sensis was better, faster, and that Android was to just be ignored.
They then put all their eggs in the iOs/Apple basket, and as usual, another not so smart move by the monopolistic giant.
The (then) CEO quipped;
Google Schmoogle
&
We’re outgrowing Google in Australia. We’re doing more, we’re growing faster and we have more capability, because we’re more relevant.
Taxi for Telstra CEO please...
So nice to finally see Telstra has rebranded, removed (some of) the arrogance, grown up, wised up, and told the latest CEO to shut up. Finally realising that if you want to get anywhere in this world that listening and collaboration, along with offering customer choice, is the only way forward... Someone at least has now empolyed a brain cell, and the often vastly customer devoid Telstra flagship Australian store, is now partially overtaken as the world's first Android store, called 'AndroidLand' in right here in Melbourne;
2012 is going to be a little bit greener.
(thx Paul)
