It's well worth a read - I hope you enjoy it. :) It really is a good article. You may remember that Larry Williams on NewstalkZB had a few things to say about the article too. Here's what he had to say (mp3 file, 400kb):www.yourfilehost.com www.yourfilehost.com NBR Investigation: How New Zealand's biggest company is hanging up on its own. "Telecom's handbrake is stalling the nation" "...Telecom is not only firmly in bed with the Beehive but is rogering it senseless." "Reality check Ms Gattung. As far as we know, the act of unbundling the local loop is not one endorsed by Osama bin Laden, Enron or Hurricane Katrina. The idea that it would bring the New Zealand sharemarket to its knees is ludicrous and Ms Gattung knows it" "The archaic 'broadband' speeds dumped on Kiwi internet users at inflated prices are hurting economic growth and innovation." "...Telecom is more than happy to bask in New Zealander's blissful ignorance." "Herein lies Telecom's problem - it would be so much easier if everything just stayed the same. That pesky 21st century technology is moving at lightning speed and Telecom is running scared" "Far from being 'Xtraordinary', as its multimillion dollar advertising would have you believe, Telecom is strangling the nation's advancement"	legod (4626)
