| 434876 | 2006-03-01 21:09:00 | From: www.nzherald.co.nz 02.03.06 10.00am People seeking to have more affordable broadband services in New Zealand are taking their campaign to the streets today. A group led by Slingshot founder, Annette Presley, will mount a protest action outside Telecom's offices in Wellington at midday. They will then take their protest to Parliament. Annette Presley says Telecom is ripping New Zealanders off with its current broadband service and she will be giving away 35,000 loaves of bread to make that point. She says Telecom is only giving consumers the crumbs, but if the protest is successful all New Zealanders will get a whole lot more - NEWSTALK ZB Is it About time there was a protest about NZ's crap Broadband?? But the question is will any one listen to them?? & How big will this protest be?? |

| 434878 | 2006-03-01 21:24:00 | I guess it's a thin line between a protest and a marketing exercise ... | Biggles (121) | ||
| 434879 | 2006-03-01 21:25:00 | If Slingshot was big enough to worry Telecom, Annette Presley would be too busy for this sort of stunt. Is she worried about the consumer's crumbs or her share of the cake? | PaulD (232) | ||
| 434880 | 2006-03-01 21:41:00 | I guess it's a thin line between a protest and a marketing exercise ...Excisely. That said maybe I should chuck a company shirt on and turn up with some catering jars or margarine to go with the bread. | ninja (1671) | ||
| 434881 | 2006-03-02 03:15:00 | well, perhaps if telecom gave them a level playing field, maybe it would be a fair game. | Tux (606) | ||

| 434883 | 2006-03-02 04:44:00 | "Let them eat cake." Bit more to it than that though, inn't there. |

| 434885 | 2006-03-02 05:54:00 | Do you think so? Without a doubt Cici, there was a whole lot more speech associated with that phrase. |
