I'm still in Europe being a conference junkie (more on that shortly) but am suddenly barraged with media wanting comment on what sounds like a dramatic collapse of Telecom's XT service.

The Herald's latest report gives little comfort for an immediatre fix.

This is the 21st century. Networks may have widespread faults that last a few seconds, or longer localised ones due to weather or cable damage. But the days of lengthy widespread disruptions like this should be way gone. The economic cost is massive!

I'm referring media calls to Chairman Chris O'Connell.  TUANZ members experiencing problems might want to email him - chris@radarguidance.com

    So much for the secret weapon to claw back market share from Vodafone. This must be at least the sixth serious outage since XT launched. And the launch was a disaster. Looks like Vfone and 2 degrees will be getting a whole pile of new customers prior to Christmas. Perhaps Telecom should have stuck with their old CDMA network, seems to be more reliable than their new UMTS network.
