| 1300034 | 2012-09-10 07:03:00 | Wow that is a big fine! Why don't these telco's learn their lesson and tell the truth in plain langauge. They are often getting done for misleading ads. What about Slingshot ? On their tv ad they say they are building a network and you see grass with holes being dug. I don't think Slingshot have their own network! |

| 1300035 | 2012-09-10 07:46:00 | They certainly seem to be slow learners but these cases also relate back to 2007-2008. Why the hell does it take four years for something like this to go through the system. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1300036 | 2012-09-10 07:48:00 | Why the hell does it take four years for something like this to go through the system. Bureaucracy. They have to have as many meetings as possible where they spend as much money as possible to do as little as possible. |

| 1300037 | 2012-09-10 07:49:00 | Agreed. Another example is 2degrees. Yes, they have coverage, but you have to roam even north of Silverdale or on Waiheke, onto the Vodafone network. I can live with that because their plans are such that for a nominal fee I get the coverage I want, especially data. But although I pay them on account $39 a month, and go nowhere their caps, they sting me $0.20 a time to access voicemail. I just want a comprehensive once only charge. Are they interested in that? You guessed it. |

| 1300038 | 2012-09-10 08:30:00 | I heard on the radio news that they pleaded guilty. It appears that the judge was kind to them and cut the fine from $1.2 million to $960,000 to include a 20 per cent discount for early guilty pleas by Vodafone. newstrackindia.com |

| 1300039 | 2012-09-10 08:58:00 | The trouble is we all know who will actually be paying the fine. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1300040 | 2012-09-10 09:37:00 | Not me as I do not use Vodafone products. Oh the poor shareholders!! | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1300041 | 2012-09-10 10:30:00 | Yes poor shareholders! Perhaps they could not pay the fine and then get given community service ? or Home D ? |
