Sunrise money panel review Telecom's reaction to XT failure.

Telecom's shares are taking a hit as the fallout over the XT failures continues.

Another head has rolled over the debacle - technology officer frank mount, responsible for the design and operation of the network, has resigned, and Telecom boss Paul Reynolds has announced a $10 million compensation package for customers.

Experts to be flown in to try and fix our third world phones. North Korea perhaps? LOL

The Government has described the network problems as embarrassing and wants an urgent report on the matter.


Communications Minister, Steven Joyce has warned he will regulate to ensure 111 calls are a priority.

But are we surprised that something like this is happening with a National Government? No, definately not!
