But then again, it's easy when you have a monopoly, where else can anyone go?

Exactly, it wouldn't matter who was in power - basically we vote in the lesser of two evils.

Then the team we vote in cock up the same stuff the other team would've cocked up if they got into power, except the opposition sit there and say "we wouldn't have done that".

*yawn*

As much as I despise Telecom and all it's practices nothings going to change so people might as well **** about it.

That or we could set up a subforum http://telecomrants.pcworld.co.nz - it'd be a nice complement to the SP2 forum we desperately need.

267751 2004-09-02 09:18:00 Hmmm .... I didn't see Vodafone, or Telstra-Clear or any other telecommunications company in NZ offering to put money into the cable.

Telecom's OK by me, and I can't see the point in people moaning and groaning about things they can't change. :| </rant>

If no-one ever moaned and groaned about anything then you can be damn sure NOTHING will ever change!

The more rants, protests, boycotts and pressure put on govt and telecom the better. If nothing still happens then at least the swines will have had a hard time.

Telescum's days are running out (tho not for a while i hate to say) and the greedy pigs at the top are trying to milk as much as they can before it all goes to pot.

I suggest switching to wireless if and when it becomes available over the next few years.

Yeah, a data link to the states would go great guns for a cellphone company.
