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.
But medium-sized organisations are, well, stuck in the middle. In an attempt to keep the total cost of ownership low, they doggedly stick to a single platform such as Windows on Dell hardware.
Sprint Nextel took the wooden spoon on 52 points, with fellow telcos Qwest Communications and Comcast Business also making the bottom ten.
Other big names languishing at the bottom include SAP Large Enterprise, Computer Associates, EMC, Symantec Enterprise Storage/Backup, and Lenovo.
It appears to be a good job that small companies are relatively favourably disposed towards Microsoft operating systems, as they appeared on the bottom ten for medium and enterprise companies (both giving 61 points) but managed to stay out of the cellar overall.
The lowest scores of all went to SAP Large Enterprise (46 points from Enterprise companies and Sage Software (46 points from small companies).
The curious thing about the SAP numbers is that this means the operation is more highly rated by companies outside the target market than by the primary audience. That can't be a good sign.
