| For the Record: Alcatel and Quigley |

 I commented Mike Quigley pretty likely knew what was going on at Alcatel when he was in charge. Australian reporters touched base, and I think were surprised I answered "Incidentally, whether or not Quigley has a corrupt past, he's doing a reasonable job so far, making sensible technical choices throughout. The Alcatel gear he's chosen is field-proven in many of the biggest deployments in the world and works well. If he got a decent price, it's not a bad choice. The NBN is probably a good thing in the long run, because having a great Internet does enable many things. It's nothing like the panacea for economic development or telemedicine etc. claimed, of course." Since I said that privately, I should say it publicly.
After 12 years on this beat, I've seen nearly every major equipment vendor go over the line occasionally.
