Australia’s largest mobile operator Telstra has appointed internal candidate David Thodey as its new CEO. Thodey will replace Sol Trujillo.

Breitbart reports that Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo has left the Australian telecoms giant early so his replacement can take on the role immediately.

The Australian anti-trust regulator has given the green light to the proposed merger of Vodafone and Hutchison's Australian mobile operations, after concluding that it is unlikely to affect competition in the country's mobile market.
