With all the work done to deliver a new mobile network on time, conform to separation undertakings, and all else, I guess Telecom New Zealand wanted to thank their people... I found this video on YouTube today:

Well, it is not particularly hidden, it's a public site, and has "Telecom" in its name...

I loved the music and this will sound cheesy but I thought it was a great way to say thanks.

I found it quite sad, those people at the start whose marriages broke up ... was that due to the network rollout? Big price to pay. Felt sorry for the poor telecom folk.

I thought the music was great as well, anyone know the artist and track name?

Relationship breakups happen, and it's not reserved just for Telecom staff... Working in a telco is a pressure cooker, Telecom is pressure cooker on full gas.... TCL is pressure cooker on lava bed...

Not sure why you would mention it in an internal video though... loved Chante's take on POTS though (!)

Is it just a coincidence that you should happen to go youtube trawling for 'telecom' videos on the exact same day it gets posted?

Yes, I am Dr Paul Reynolds. my secret is out. Or as we scotsmen like to say: 'oot'.

not really, it's just your OP implied that you happened to find the video whilst browsing, which couldhappen I suppose, but it's far more likely someone sent you the link (unless of course you tend to do regular searches for Telecdom on youtube, and just happened to do one on the same day the video was posted.)
Just wondered why you didn't say "a friend in the industry sent me this link"? It's no biggie, just curious.
