(1) Does 2 degrees want to increase the amount of MVNO's using your mobile network. (2) There are about 50,000 slingshot MVNO customers using the spark mobile network will these customers be rapidly moved to the 2 degrees network.

 

The answers to those questions are highly commercially sensitive; not the kind of thing we would be answering on Geekzone.

Probably fairly easy to guess the answer...

Vocus internally never had much positive to say about being a spark MVNO, pricing was extremely restrictive until more recently but won't come anywhere bringing it on-net and if there's one thing Vocus moves quickly to do it's cut costs (and that drive comes from the very top).

If you look at Vocus's wholesale segment you'll see they have had a strong push to sell anything they can for quite a while so that's likely to continue and spread into the mobile space, 2D wholesale on the other hand seemed to be a bit more focused on particular products.

Will the Lifetime Free e-mail @orcon address I created in early 2005 still be available?

 

Would like to know the answer to this as well.

I'll need to check - any changes would be after a decent period of integration work, so def no plans in the short and medium term, and perhaps long term as well. If I hear differently, we'll let you know.
