When will 2degrees expect to have their own network throughout nz ready so that the customers do not need to roam on vodafone network?

Are there future plans for bulk data rates similar to VF and XT ?

i.e. 100mb for $10 per month (or better)

Can you ask if they will deploy a 900Mhz 3g in urban areas unlike vodafone who only let the whopwhop people get it?

Yes, same for SMS messaging. The per-minute rates are great, but compared to Prepay + Addons for SMS & Data, it's hard to justify a switch :-/

My questions:

When 2degrees launches their own 3g network, will it be possible to roam on Vodafone's 2100mhz and 900mhz 3g network?

Will 2degrees support Video calling and will it be possible to use it to call Vodafone, Telecom XT and Overseas?

Will we see some Data packs once 3g is launched?

Also I agree with the comments made NZ has become accustomed to using Text to communicate as the per min calling charges on Vodafone and Telecom have been very high. Will 2degrees look at offering some Text bundles for those who want to move away from VF and Telecom? (basically to keep them happy)

Also I note the agreement with Telecom for being able to provide something similar to Vodafone's "local zone", when does 2degrees envision they will have this up and running?

I'd also like to ask about the twitter integration, which is the biggest loss for me in the jumping of ship (sad, I know!), what's the timeframe/official word?
