Just a little detour south and you can hook us Kiwi's into the cable too. We are also totally fed up with the telco's charging horrendous rates for international traffic. Because of this we New Zealanders enjoy the dishonor of paying some of the highest fees for broadband in the world. Save us too Google! Free VoIP at some point?By JeffyPooh

Once Google has girdled the world, then it'll be a short step to offer free everything (with small harmless ads along one side). "Google commented in a we-decline-to-comment kind of way."By Anonymous Coward

Lexx Worry yourself not. Of course Google will route the cable via New Zealand. In fact, the whole point of the cable is to prepare for their office move to a disused extinct volcano here as El Reg reported 18 months ago: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/08/you_only_search_twice/ The period for commenting on this story has finished |
