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.
For example, Telstra is now part way through a massive transformation of both its network infrastructure and its IT systems. Using multiple vendors. Between then Alcatel-Lucent and HP - the world's largest technology company with a portfolio that spans printing, personal computing, software, services and IT infrastructure - would likely have the product set and technical capabilities to have been a one-stop shop for even a project as massive as this one.
Once their definitive agreement has been executed they will both provide "all required investment supported by dedicated business development and sales resources." They claim that, "Once implemented, the program could generate multi-billion euros in net revenues for HP and Alcatel-Lucent over a 10-year period."
HP will also transform and manage a large part of Alcatel-Lucent's IT infrastructure, with the aim of enabling Alcatel-Lucent to "accelerate the evolution of its operations toward the highest standard of performance, quality, efficiency and costs."
Alcatel-Lucent says it selected HP for this role because of "Its advanced data centre technologies and its managed services leadership." Alcatel-Lucent is hoping to realise "Significant aggregate savings along with material cash-flow improvements," throughout the 10 year agreement.
