Comments on: Net backbone outage fixed, for now

Feuding companies restore Net data services, along with access to e-mail and Web sites, but only for a month.

Thank god.

Internet has been all over the place in New Zealand since this happened.

Thankfully it is restored... for now.

Are you serious?

I am in Australia and it did not affect me. Any idea why?

The real problem is....

The real issue here is the governmental intervention that is guaranteed to occur as a result of the short sightedness of a few corporate executives. Whether the motivation was personal or truly of shareholder interest, the result will be more regulation and taxes.

Will this eventually mirror our regulated telephone industry which is taxed very heavily ?to protect the interest of the consumer??
