I hate to be a downer, but generally petitions work best if they're a less general than that. You want "Telecom to be regulated more" - that's just great. What do you mean by that? You want WHO to regulate them? How is this going to happen? What are the steps needing to be taken to make this work?

P.S. You misspelled "Representatives"

403266 2005-11-10 19:20:00 Give up. You're wasting your time. Unless you want to start up a rival company to Telecom.
Anyway they are starting on the new infrastructure soon. Go and do some sums, work out the costs - they aren't a charity - they're there to make a profit.
There was an article just the other day about Korea -
msnbc.msn.com

If they can't do it economically Telecom sure can't. We have a lot less people and are more scattered.

And as for your website you go on about you hate jap cars but you own one and are buying another.
Bit like how you hate Telecom but are still using them.

403268 2005-11-10 21:19:00 what new infrastructure??? adsl2?not in our lifetime. but what defeats me is how ihug can be selling a plan with twice the cap as telecom $30 cheaper than telecom and still be making a profit. Telecom hasnt had hardly any cost in infrastructure, hell, they were awarded the project probe contract to upgrade the exchanges and they still tried to charge communities! take a look at an isp in australia's prices for adsl 2, then compare the speed and cap and price to telecom, its disgusting bc.whirlpool.net.au Tux (606)
403269 2005-11-10 21:24:00 what about adam's internet, 24mbit down, 1mbit up, 40gb cap, for cheaper than telecom's 2mbit down, 128kb up with a 10gb cap http://adsl2.adam.com.au/ Tux (606)

It's almost enough to make you want to move to Oz. Shame its filled with bleedin' Aussies though.

403271 2005-11-10 21:47:00 Yeah, I always spell reprasentatives wrong... Luckily OOo has a spellchecker ;)

As for giving up? Never... something (i can't remeber what) has shown that there are more people getting disgruntled with Telecom.

At this point I would try to think of some little guy who stood up against the big company and won... but I can't...

hmmm... Erin Brockovich? but she's not a guy.. lol
