Our third mobile operator has just announced its chief executive, Mike Reynolds, has resigned. His replacement is named.

Mr Reynolds has quit 2degrees to take up a role in the US.

A 2degrees spokeswoman said neither she nor other 2degrees staff had been told what the role was - only that it was in Mr Reynolds' home state in the US. The reason for the secrecy is, apparently, that the chief executive is moving to a publically-traded company, which has yet to announce his appointment.
