Telco "right" down

When is the NZ government going to realise that the current telco landscape just doesn't work.
For sure something had to happen, but I honestly don't think the measures they've put in place are enough. NZ is too small a country to afford huge investment in telco gear, so what do we do?
Somehow the government needs to be involved. How about they dip into the Cullen Super Fund and make an investment in our future.

NZ will just be another Australia (Telstra) rerun played 3 years after the mistakes happened there .I'd be keen to hear the current thinking on this. Any suggestions ?

Anyway, heres the latest write down for Telecom. The new chairman sounds like a really good guy but my thoughts are that a real technology evangelist needs to be at the helm. www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3754731a13,00.html
