Looking more likely :p

The only reason I can see them doing this is to get Telecom back in control of their future (esp after what the Government did to them). If they decide how its split, all good, less of a loss in share prices and so on. If the government does it, share prices drop heaps, likely Theresa loses her job etc etc

I noticed Theresa on the news said it was to give the consumer more of a choice :lol:
Unless one was born yesterday, we all know of Telecoms (and Theresa's) history of trying to hold on to the monopoly and make life harder for the competitors, thus killing the consumers choice

Anyone? Not me. They took a lot of my moeny already. Let the NZ Telecom close down and welcome International Telecommunications company to NZ.
