The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
“Of those who are planning to hire, most organisations
are looking for people with skills in IT support and maintenance,
followed by those with skills in application development and system
integration.
“We believe that as demand for IT products and
services slows down, organisations can acquire new employees and skills
without paying a premium. While IT user companies can use the
opportunity to fill gaps in their organisation’s skill sets, IT vendors
and the local partner eco-system can selectively augment their existing
staff and build new practices,” Shekhar added.
Springboard also says that Demand for Java is Encroaching on
Microsoft's Turf, and its survey of IT developers revealed that while
Microsoft programming languages are the most popular amongst
developers, more than half of those surveyed think that Java is a
“must-have language in today’s business environment.”
Shekhar says that Java is also the first preference for new learning,
with developers also interested in acquiring skills beyond language and
technology, and 37% of those interviewed rated acquiring skills in
project management as their top priority.
“In terms of vendor-specific skills, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP are the
top three priorities for the developers,” according to Shekhar, and he
says the survey of IT training and education providers revealed that
courses in Java and C++ languages are most popular and in demand.
“Web Services and XML, security management and software & system
testing are the top technology-specific skills courses offered by these
providers.”
