Ahem.
How does 70 exchanges live and unbundling beyond Auckland by the end of the year sound?
Oh, should I mention VDSL as well at this point? Fully 20% of our lines will be supporting VDSL and we're pushing for symmetrical service so it will be (real world) around 50Mbit/s down and around 30Mbit/s up.
Vodafone won't be launching a service until we reach a critical mass of customers - a couple of exchanges just won't do it - so expect the service to go live to customers mid year.

Can we just settle on some rules for the aforementioned downtrou (great spelling, I'm teaching my PC and phone at once).
Who exactly must DT? Where and when? How do we determine the downtrouee and the downtrouer?
As for the execution of the downtrou itself... well I'm not sure I want to know.
Enquiring minds, dammit! Give us the bare facts.

I'm often staggered by the number of people (smart people as well) who haven't got the faintest idea about how the media works, what drives a journalist to write a particular story from a particular angle or indeed what the limits are...
Things I've heard lately:
"Who said they can write that?"
"I just buy an ad and they'll print a story about it as well."
"Everyone gets to see the copy before it goes out - how else would it work?" (that one from a journalist. Sorry, "journalist").
"Sorry, even if nothing else happened, that's not going to be a lead on the TV news tonight." (OK, that one was me).I was always opposed to media training but I think a lot of folk could do with training about the media as well as training in how to talk to the media.

I see your problem... it's either the tinfoil you're using for your hat OR (and I can't rule this out just yet) that I've stolen all your bandwidth spamming my mahjong club.
It's a close run thing.

Hey hey... don't dis the pigs Russel. We've got two (Lolly and Scramble) and while I was expecting them to be nothing more than hay eating crapping machines, they're actually quite sweet.
They whistle to each other and to us, they're good pets for small children whose mother is allergic to everything else because when they get scared they FREEZE (evolution, you're a heartless bastard) allowing tiny hands to get a good grab hold and they're pretty hardy all things considered.
I think your pig's problem might well have been loneliness. Kind of like having only one meercat, the guinea pig is a social creature who needs someone to bully/whine about/race to the food bowl and snuggle up to in the cold.

Yes, bring on the Snot Fairy I say....
I too have a red-haired daughter. What is it with these recessive genes bubbling up? Curious.

World famous and well done.
If only you were still a blogger, eh? Ah well. Middle management has it rewards, I'm sure.

I think this may be a first: both Russell 'Hard News' Brown and David 'What does the P stand for' Farrar reading and praising a new blog on the same day!
I find it hard to believe Poneke won't explode in an overwhelming annihilation of left/right love not unlike a matter/anti-matter collision.
Perhaps we should reverse the polarity to make sure that doesn't happen...

we'd have real news.

YouTube clip of the day surely has to be...
