My initial thoughts about that company still stand - I do not foresee it being a success now or in the future, regardless of its claimed unlimited usage. Their service is just as atrocious as it was when they first began if not better.<BR/><BR/>Kidanet was supposed to have been the savior of the quandary Internet users were facing at the time – could <I>I</I> have been wrong that Kidanet is/was a good service provider when it advertized a no frills package all for the low price of $50/month? If your comments are true as they have been written Chris, then I am truly disappointed. I had not expected FINTEL to have introduced data caps for its packages and not made this news public – this is the work of cowards and the work of a company which will soon have its reputation and fame relegated to the same level of scorn and contempt we show Connect Fiji.<BR/><BR/>Have the people of this country absolutely no say in whether it is right for ISP’s to rip customers off with shoddy packages which are available for less than ¾ of the price we pay for it here? Could it be possible that Fiji’s hype and all the noise it’s been making about embracing ICT has been merely that – noise? It is a sad day for the people of this country when many struggle to put food on their tables without having dodgy ISP’s such as Connect and Kidanet tweaking their agreements quietly and then stiffing us with outrageous packages for atrocious charges.<BR/><BR/>After reading your article, I sincerely hope that the stakeholders involved in these ramifications realize that I am absolutely disgusted with them and their attitude that ripping customers off is a normal practice – while I realize that a company needs to make a profit, I strongly object to that profit being made by ripping off hard-working customers who struggle to make ends meet. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the technical/financial analysts are right – who wants to do business in Fiji when no one cares about offering you value for your money? <BR/><BR/>I hope if any sane minded stakeholder who has the power to make changes in the ISP industry reads this, they have the decency to end their life out of shame.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802565755032856177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31575095.post-71447379743886939622008-05-13T19:34:00.000+12:002008-05-13T19:34:00.000+12:00@thepaul: if SCCN ran a new line to Fiji, the arra...@thepaul: if SCCN ran a new line to Fiji, the arrangement between FINTEL and SCCN would presumably still stand.

And, of course reduction in price. <BR/><BR/>From the SCCN presentation, the most notable insinuation was the plans to provide Internet access to the rural areas.

This is normal even in normal organizations - if you plan to oppose your EMG's and CEO, then you're likely to lose your job soon.

It's refusal to reduce CFC emissions is sad and its racist policies towards Mexicans and other races is simply pathetic.<BR/>Would anyone from the interim government like to comment on this section of the report? Probably not since the report is not worth so much attention as it's slanted and did not consult all key stakeholders - as usual, the US had produced another slanted report about what it <B>thinks</B> is the truth rather than what <B>really</B> is the truth.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802565755032856177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31575095.post-19437681391437164282008-03-03T12:08:00.000+12:002008-03-03T12:08:00.000+12:00Hi Chris,Sorry.
