How do you work out that Telecom isn't a monopoly any more? I don't see any competition in the mobile phone arena - they aren't playing on a level playing field. Although you can take your 027 number to Vodafone - and vice versa - (where a Telecom caller, unbeknownst to them pays a higher call rate, to ring what appears to be another Telecom number) it isn't easy to change provider, since Telecom phones don't have a SIM card to swap out... You still have to buy a new phone to truly change provider. This is not the case in the UK or Europe. Once Telecom rolls out its GSM network (June 2009?), we might see opportunities for REAL competition... |

| 701111 | 2008-08-29 03:16:00 | In the mobile sector, yeah. As you said the playing field isn't level, Voda**** and Telecum are not selling the same service. I was thinking more of the Internet and phone line area. Yeah, sorry Rob! :blush: |

| 701113 | 2008-08-29 06:21:00 | To bring the thread back on track... I listed some skis on TradeMe today and was most surprised to see that it now costs an extra 25 cents to specify a Reserve Price!! How long has that been the case?? |
