Telecom gets competitive

I generally don’t like unsolicited strangers at my front door trying to sell me stuff.

So when the young guy turned up last week I adopted my usual, somewhat abrupt, I’m-not-buying-anything-from-you manner.

“Hello, I’m from Telecom and just wanted to ask whether you’re happy with your broadband and phone service?” …

But because I may have just witnessed a landmark event in telecommunications history – the first occasion in my lifetime that Telecom has actually touted for my business.

The slothful corporate has always assumed my business was its monopoly right. Has competition finally arrived?

I think that is a positive sign. May it continue.
