BellSouth also operated in the Australian and New Zealand market. BellSouth operated in New Zealand under the name of BellSouth New Zealand Limited from 1993 until 1998 when it was purchased by Vodafone. It competed against Telecom New Zealand. It's operations in Australia were under the name of BellSouth Australia Pty Limited.
coffeebaron: Yea, I do agree that Vodafone have put in a whole heap more. My main point was really that BS were the company that made the initial investment, starting a new network from scratch and that's more then anyone else has done.

sbiddle: I still remember the classic comparative advertising campaign Telecom tried to point their coverage was superior. The problem was the whole thing backfired bigtime because it was essentially an analogue vs digital thing and when Telecom tried to move customers to it's 025 DAMPS Network nobody was interested because Telecom had just told them how crap digital was! Customer research didn't actually show that they were trying to compare Telecom vs Vodafone but infact telecom analogue vs Telecom digital.
The ad with the guy on the caravan roof trying to get his phone working was funny though!

As I recall, the really bad Motorola DAMPS phones ($1500 each) didn't help either - they couldn't keep in phase with the timing signal, meaning you got jitter and echo like some of rubbish voip services. And it took Motorola a LONG time to sort it out.
