| 298345 | 2004-12-01 06:52:00 | > Coke machines have been modem enabled since the late 90's or earlier. I met the man who invented this and set up the business. Cannot recall his name but I think his company was 'Marconi', located just outside of Masterton (where I live). I believe he sold his company or the guts of it, around a year or two ago. |

| 298346 | 2004-12-01 07:11:00 | I would love to be able to surf the Internet on my laptop from anywhere, but the prices would have to be a lot lower than they are now. Until the data charges drop, I'm quite happy using WiFi. I agree with those who say that ringtones, online info, etc. are a total waste of money. But, as they say, there's one born every minute. |

| 298347 | 2004-12-01 07:30:00 | The guy who started the whole modem connected coke machine is indeed from Masterton. He still operates there and the business manufactures electronic devices for data telemetry over the internet. His name is Peter Munn and the company is Harvest Electronics (http://www.harvest.com/). If you are in the horticulture industry you should consider one of his frost alarm systems very nice tech, my company owns several. | Sb0h (3744) | ||

Actually Steve_L, Vodafone NZ has sunk way more into their 3G network than Telecom NZ has so far. Telecom: $40 million; Vodafone NZ: $400 million. Check out this (www.nzherald.co.nz) article for more info and this (www.vodafone.co.nz) press release from Vodafone with all of their wonderful marketing fluff. |
