Richard, what is TUANZ doing now that you see of value? well they use the word "broadband" now, so soon it might be understood that a modem is dead useless and people might ask for more.
Ok I'll take the hint and just ignore them... Sounds a bit like the mob in AU that I wasted time contacting.
They REALLY need to start pushing VoIP so we can get over this PSTN stuff.
What VoIP <--> PSTN gateways are around the place so you can jump back into the pstn?
well get 10 homes and you write to Frank March asking for a Network Operators Licence (sorry Frank).
And I find Frank where...
Then use Section 13 (in the old act) which basically says "fess up or come see the Judge".
Hummm.... sounds like I need to do some reading, are NZ acts on line? Linkie linkie? :)
Sect 148 is also usefull, you can get buggers who muck up your network done for "interferring with a network" for $5k per day.
As above...
I've used Sect 13 twice - once in power, once at CityLink.. Both times on a Govt agency - Defence :-) Both worked like a charm. Time to agreement measured in hours
More fun than losing your glasses in the wind while putting up dishes I bet! :)
Nope - Frank doesn't charge. But try to buy him a lunch from time to time. Two folks that I know have achieved Operator Status this year.
Kewl, that's useful to know.
IAWR - Be a leader rather than a follower!
see earlier posting and go buy cat-5.......
That's a plan.
PS since we're all having so much fun, the other "mainframe mentality" architecture in my view is the TV industry. A good example is NZ ON Air. Their 5 year plan mentions Internet ONCE - when it gives their webiste address........oh shame.....
Oh don't even get me started! I loved the act in AU that says you're not allowed to rebroadcast across the net! - do we have anything like that here? What's the rules as far as pulling sat TV off a dish and pumping that around, do you need licences for that either? Cheers DiG -- Don Gould The technology exists to give every home 10mbits per second for $10 per month! Ask not what your telephone company should do for you... ...but what you can do for your broadband community!
