eek, my bad. as I said in the other thread, I knew of US residents being able to register via cell (www.google.com), but I noticed on the google accounts registration page (www.google.com) that gmail was listed as one of the services, I must have jumped to conclusions.

383334 2005-08-26 05:58:00 All I can say is "GO GOOGLE" good on ya. They are certainly doing some bum kicking & good things. Getting bigger & bigger all the time, making money. How long before they are called 'Googlescum" or somesuch like NZ Telecom & Microsoft. PJ Poppa John (284)

383336 2005-08-26 09:01:00 Google has a virtual monopoly on searching - there are alternatives, but everyone knows & uses google. The difference between them & the other 2 monopolies you mentioned is that Google has a mission statement of do no evil, while microsoft has always been about getting more money by any means possible (the law is a minor inconvienence) & the NZ govt sold telecom to an overseas corporation with the same mentality.
