| 386029 | 2005-09-05 00:38:00 | So much for all the complaining about Telecom and the bushytailed supporters of wireless communication. Vodaphone have just turned down their right to take 20% of Woosh, at a cost of $30 million. Clearly they can't see money in it. And TelstraClear continues to lose money in NZ despite being a giant company compared with Telecom. The point is, modern telecommunications comes at a price. Particularly in a mountainous country with a small population. |

| 386032 | 2005-09-06 03:23:00 | Telecom seem to be doing fairly well despite NZ being mountainous with a small population, $1 billion annual profit www.computerworld.co.nz As far as I can see monopoly economics and the concomitant lack of competition or difficulty of competing against such a large monoploy are dictating the cost of communications in this country. Telecom need to be reigned in and give this country a chance! |
