the internot


new zealand has no idea what the internet is or how it has revolutionized business. it's a digital third world waste land.

you have limited competition to pay $90/month to for a paltry 10 gigs of traffic and the technician who fails to connect the internot to your apartment still tapes his business card to the exterior door of your sixty-unit building and then wonders why you haven't returned his call in a week. (but he only wonders that to himself. you have to call the company who calls the company who calls the company who calls the technician to figure that much out)

i think i'm less angry and mostly sad that they just don't get it or how software development could revolutionize a country with a geographic encumbrance to export manufactured goods.

Sad! It is very inhospitable of the kiwis to expect you to endure slow/spotty internets. Thumbs down.
