It failed because people failed to understand it. They still wait for someone else to do it for them and complain about what Telecom do or don't do. Why not do it yourself. There were absolutely no barriers to doing just that, just laziness and ignorance.
Alas Richard echoes a sad truth. We live in a country where dependancy and political correctness rule. A few days ago an imigrant contractor who has been working for us said he was considering leaving New Zealand. A well educated man with plenty to contribute. The reason had nothing to do with difficulty in getting work after finishing here. He was concerned the kiwi attitude of "sit around and wait for others to do it for you" was teaching his young children to be lazy. He doesn't want to leave his children dependant on anybody. Think about it. -- Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2DAY INTERNET LIMITED http://www.2day.com "Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something!" Thomas A Edison
