Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm far from the TCNZ supporter, but I have worked on both sides of the fence, as both a bandwidth consumer and a supplier, and I have been privy to the financial aspects of buying and selling bandwidth from both perspectives.
I wish people in New Zealand would stop pretending bandwidth is cheap and/or cost almost zero and expecting vast amounts of resource for little cost. It doesn't work that way. Anywhere.
Nobody with any sense would think that, but... Jetstream currently charges between 13 and 23 cents per megabyte.
Does that strike you as affordable, compared to other countries?
And how is the Jetstream model vastly different to most other bandwidth charging models in NZ? Not only costing model itself, but also the costs themselves? Chris - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
