Telstra clear are legends,first they withdraw from consultation on a code of practice,then they do a random survey that shows all 1048 people questioned had downloaded something in the last 12 months and then they go on our current affairs program “close up” and tell APRA ” your business model is obsolete so deal with it.”

It’s a shame more phone companies don’t grow some balls like these guys.

what a crock!,they will never get the law passed without due process,kiwis will not be pushed around as was proven with the BLACK OUT in march this year.The National government got back in after 9 years of Labour because we got sick of the nanny state telling us what to do.National will be too scared of another 9 years in the wilderness if they piss us off too much,for that reason we will beat them down again.Internet disconnection is an unreasonable penalty for the “crime” seeing as we are so isolated from the rest of world.WATCH HOLLYWOOD FAIL AGAIN!!!.

And how exactly is this going to persuade people to buy their fu**ing films. These clowns will never learn.

“We were engaged with the Government and officials and were going down one line of thought, and then they have come back with something totally different that we were not expecting…”

Sort of like what happens with us and the CRTC, except I feel no sympathy for them.

When America says jump, the answer had better well be “How high master?” if you know what’s good for you. /s

why do we even have laws and constitutions when private companies are not following them, when did they become above the law, when did they become in the position to write their own laws, this is another example that money talks and american bizniz does what it wants where ever it feels like it being done.
just think if the american government had the same power as the kartels to force foreign governments into submission, now thats a scary thought
