| 560556 | 2007-06-19 12:17:00 | Yes. There is an election later in the year. The bullsh1t is flowing freely. In reality, it will cost a few billion. There are better things to spend those billions on than broadband. |

| 560558 | 2007-06-19 13:30:00 | Fast internet for the masses is going to be the key to staying competitive and doing business, both buying and selling, in the next 20 years especially if fuel prices continue to climb, and I don't think there is any doubt of that, NZ had better pull finger. | zqwerty (97) | ||

We agree on something here zqwerty. You must have been reading Von Mises. |

I know that most people here will agree Zqwerty but the facts are that internet business growth is slowing worldwide . We are reaching a plateau . Oh I have no doubt use will continue to grow but nothing as fast as the last 10 years . You can compare it to every leading edge technology . As soon as something gets cheap enough, everyone piles on board . Cellphones are a good example . Then it becomes mundane and sales drop . Indeed I can think of five people straight away who don't own or use cellphones . So it is with internet commerce . There was a massive dive into buying over the net until people got used to it, and now the growth has trailed off . What we need in NZ is nation-wide broadband before we start to think about ADSL2 etc . Many Kiwis still have only dial-up . |

| 560563 | 2007-06-20 10:14:00 | I don't think so, this is an obvious thing that any responsible government that is investing in the future of it's citizens would do, here it is dependent on whether there is money to be made in the short term by greedy little businessmen. | zqwerty (97) | ||
