In fact this was a clever move by Telecom to prevent there share price
sliding with everyone wanting to sell up at the same time. :-)

This is hyperbole, surely? I'd be fairly shocked if the NZSE internal
systems themselves could be "crashed" by a fault in an external vendor.
Access to the system from external points may be impacted, of course,
but even then I'd have to do the Dance of Stupid[1] if the NZSE public
and secure networks only used a single network provider for everything.
