I couldn’t help but comment on the news that Telecom and WorldXChange are partnering to supply a FTTH/VoIP service to some new subdivisions currently being created.
As Matt Crockett (no relation of Davy as far as I know!), CEO of Telecom wholesale said;
“In the old world it would have been Telecom Retail as a matter of course but in the new world we are committed to open access in the network”
Competition anyone?
