238521 2004-05-22 08:02:00 In Saturday's NZ Herald in the "Canvas" section there is an interesting lengthy article on Woosh entitled "Look ma, no wires".

It does give a varied and interesting picture. Current users (including Chill !) and potential users will particularly find it interesting.
cheers

238523 2004-05-22 08:37:00 Well that article in a newspaper is only going to be useful to about 1/10 of the people on PressF1 as not everyone lives in Auckland to get the Herald.

Can you provide us with an internet article? ;)

It's interesting that the article was Woosh v's Telecom with no mention of other radio operators.

It is online you know, even if you live in Stewart Island !!
I thought I would be kind and give you the direct link, but despite spending quite a bit searching with such words and phrases as Woosh, wireless and "look ma" it did not come to light. Have therefore send the Herald people a query. It may be that "Canvas" is slightly different.
Will let you know !

Anyway, in the meantime, so that you can read some sophisticated stuff for a change, here is the Herald link --

238526 2004-05-22 12:19:00 Yeah I had a look on the Herald site before I posted, they must not have put it on the net or something. They probably only put the main articles on or something? Oh well ;) kiki (762)
238527 2004-05-22 22:24:00 hey kiki,
They're finally rolling out in the Wellington CBD if that makes any difference ;)

Not that it makes a difference for me.. I'm a hardened nzwireless.co.nz user :D

238528 2004-05-22 23:41:00 Hi Whetu - have you noticed any of the teething problems that Woosh apparently has with nzwireless. PaulD (232)
238529 2004-05-23 00:21:00 such as? Do a search, I've commented on nzw here before IIRC :) whetu (237)
