| 432803 | 2006-02-22 17:34:00 | I had to laugh at Gattung saying they were the only ones putting 2 billion over 5 years into broadband; to which Campbell replied "You also received 2 billion in dividends in 2 years, you aren't doing it that tough" lets hope its called unbundling to give the competition a chance. Show me another ISP or Telecoms company that is spending big on upgrading the infrastructure. As for the money they receive, all businesses are there to make a profit. If you're not, then you go out of business. And take a note of this which was released in 2003: "Work to provide broadband to nine Southland towns and Stewart Island was completed by Telecom last month, with exchanges in Half Moon Bay, Bluff, Otatara, Tuatapere, Edendale, Lumsden, Makarewa, Otautau, Riverton and Wyndham upgraded. The upgrades bring broadband coverage to more than 80 percent of lines in the region. Telecom has already enabled exchanges in Gore, Invercargill, Mataura, Te Anau, Waikiwi and Winton. " I would not be able to get normal broadband in Edendale but I was surprised to discover Wyndham does have it. Its not everywhere yet but they are getting there. Edendale only had an old crossbar exchnage and it was pulled out years ago (before Telecom). |

| 432805 | 2006-02-22 20:06:00 | I see Cunniliffe (?) reckons there are going to be changes made... lets hope its called unbundling to give the competition a chance. Don't count on it. Out of all appearing on this program he came out worse. He would neither confirm or deny that the GVT had been preasured by Telecom not to LLU or that they were going to do anything in the future.. |

Edendale only had an old crossbar exchnage and it was pulled out years ago (before Telecom).2003 ... what have they done since then, held their stranglehold on NZs "broadband", thus keeping NZ in the broadband dark ages while making us pay through the teeth for our lil monthly caps. That tard Gattung reckons they are looking after us. WHATEVER. If she wants to look after us, good, allow unbundling rather than hanging onto the monopoly and let others put their money in or whatever they want to do. This is the sorta crap that Microsoft is doing. Keeping their customers by whatever means it takes while throwing a **** product out to them... kinda like an abbatoir throws the innards to the dogs - to keep them at bay |

If you're not, then you go out of business.I'm confused pctek... the ISPs are asking for an opertunity to be able to invest in infrastrucure, and you tell them off for not doing it already? Besides, while I have no numbers to back it up, I'm sure the wISPs and so forth will have a higher investment/customer ratio than telecom. I would not be able to get normal broadband in Edendale but I was surprised to discover Wyndham does have it. Its not everywhere yet but they are getting there.Yes.. but this has *nothing* to do with telecom's williness to invest. The areas you were talking about had broadband coverage funded by project probe. Telecom won the contract, and was *paid* by the NZ Gvt to roll out broadband. -Qyiet |

| 432808 | 2006-02-22 21:32:00 | How ironic After watching John Cambell on tv3 last night i went and checked my emails and found i had been sent an email from xtra telling me my speed was going up from 256k to 2mbs. Good speed increase but would rather have my cap increased to 2gb. Did anyone else her that telecom lady let out a sigh at the end of the interview?. |

| 432809 | 2006-02-22 21:43:00 | well i saw part of the interveiw then gave up after hearing the same old bull. one thing noone has mentioned..... one problem i think telecom suffer from is simply some exchanges and trunks simply can't handle the volume of data. locally we have had people who can't get telephone numbers due the exchanges needs upgradeing. i've seen places where adsl goes to a crawl dureing buisness hours, most likly data connections are being throttled to keep voice services going. its no wonder telecom want to control it all, if it was unbundled i think the bottle necks in the system would soon be found. |

| 432811 | 2006-02-22 22:25:00 | The videos are encoded with the XVid codec and the audio is in mp3 format! | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 432812 | 2006-02-22 22:59:00 | I tryed them in QuickTime on my laptop & it did not like them :( Media player makes no difference, You need the codec that was used to compress the file installed on your system inorder to decompress and view the file (codec= Compressor/decompressor) In this case its Xvid, which will enable playback of all files encoded in this format,and can also decode Divx files, Seeing as these are a massivly popular format for video you must find you cant view large amounts of online video. And if your going to be encoding video for online access I would suggest you take the time and learn to use it for your own purposeses. I would recomend Auto-GK, It the most simple app (or collection of apps) I have yet come accros that will churn out top quality xvid/divx files with a couple of mouse clicks, its also free and has the relivant codecs bundled with it to enable playback.... www.videohelp.com |
