louisgoodier: Every Company that has ever made an offer to the government to build another network has been squashed by the government. Hence why the government has started an unbundling process with Telecom. Its just too slow.

Companies like Woosh have resorted to Wireless networks that are more expensive to run to reduce the fee's Telecom imposes on other ISPs. Yet these networks yet more expensive, are making money.

I am aware that Telecom has huge restrictions on what it can do - and rightfully so. But the Government are not stopping investment in Fiber networks. They're encouraging it. It isn't unrealistic for a small country to have a complete fiber network relatively quickly. I wouldn't be surprised to find serial links in some rural exchanges.

Telecom as a business has made some huge mistakes over the years. Its about time something changed, because its clearly not working.

I have enjoyed this conversation N, but like you said we shall have to agree to disagree.
