ahmad: I would stick my neck out and say that the reason there is such a high TXT/Call imbalance is due to pricing imbalance.
ronindanbo: I remember when Telecom bought in Push to Talk which was a disaster we had to give it away just to get people to use it

I've never even heard of it. I guess that proves your point :)

Push to talk did have it's uses though. I think it would have been a really good feature for tradesmen. Problem is that I don't think marketing supported it all that well.
Also, with the customer base of NZ, it was always going to be hard to justify the expense of running?the service compared to the amount of users that would take it up.

exportgoldman:
Why not keep the existing customers on CDMA, which is a fine network BTW.
When those contracts come up for renewal they will move them across.
What I suspect Telecom will be focusing on will be the new signups, to increase their total market share.
The one thing I can be confident in, is that Telecom under Paul Reynolds isn't going to walk away from a fight for market share. And Vodafone is one savvy operator. They may have a rubbish network now, but their profits from last quarter were over 700 Million dollars from memory, and XT only cost 500M to build.
langi27: Your comments bring up a very good point, and I'd like to say I'd be even more angry if I was a CDMA customer and not offered access to XT sooner rather than later. Regardless if I only made 1 voice call a day and had no interest in data.
langi27: This is exactly the same stupid mentality Telecom had when Telstra (Saturn or Telstraclear at the time) was rolling out their cable network here in Christchurch. The same week Telstra was available my Phone bill dropped $10 a month, I got a letter telling me "now that ther is some competition we would like to offer you a savings on your line rental". Which just happened to match the Telstra pricing.
