1195489 2011-04-19 00:03:00 Call that justice ?

The offending took place 10 years ago!

They were doing that sort of things all the time back then.

1195491 2011-04-19 00:43:00 I agree with Digby. That is not justice.

$12m is about 4 to 5 days profit. What sort of a penalty is that? It's laughable.

So your saying that they show be fined a $bil or two and break the company. What if your favorite telco did the same , would you be calling for them to be bankrupt??

1195493 2011-04-19 01:42:00 Perhaps not a billion or two, but at least a month's profit. $12m to Telecom is just a drop in the bucket. The secretary will most probably pay the fine out of petty cash. Ulsterman (12815)
1195494 2011-04-19 04:12:00 And they should have been fined in 2002.
To put them off doing similar antics again.

Are you saying telecom is your favorite telco?
