We’ve made the difficult decision to not continue with our crowd-sourced modem. The response and contribution from the Geekzone community to the campaign was amazing, and the suggestions and voting figures were impressive. A big thank you to yourself, and to everybody who has participated in this campaign.
In the broadband space, our customers are telling us that the things they really want are bigger data allowances and great content, and that’s what we are focusing our resources on. We’re working on some exciting new stuff in these areas, and we’ll share more info on that in due course.
We realise it will be disappointing to find out we’re not continuing with the campaign, but we’d like to recognise those people who put in the time and effort to come up with some great ideas.
Yes, I know some people will complain bitterly, but these things happen all the time... But on a phone call with the project owner it was clear that Telecom is changing (aren't they always?) and with that comes the need to prioritise activities. They have a lot going on (new online TV service, ISP changes, etc) so while this seemed like a great idea a few months back, there is not much space for this project looking at their current landscape.
But, fear not! You efforts weren't in vain! All that time put into thinking of great features will be rewarded. I will be contacting the top 10 contributors with a special offer: a Telecom handset of their choice as reward for their contribution.
