NZCrusader: Callplus buys 2degrees.

Makes it warmer.

I would guess it would be the other way around. If that happned, 2 degrees would then own a number of ISPs, including Orcon and Slingshot. I would be for that. But I suspect it will be them buying a smaller cheaper ISP.

That randomly falls back to a prehistoric slow standard when you are inside? Cant give outram better service than their mobile customers get.

So who's gonna buy Woosh then? Their 2.3GHz spectrum is worth more for use as a 4G band than the market cap of Canadian parent Craig Wireless..

Considering they list it as a key asset who says it's up for sale?

Most problems are the result of previous solutions...
