Satirists target Telecom NZ mobile launch

video An online satirist has targeted the pending launch of Telecom New Zealand's XT mobile network, mixing up advertisements with other footage to imply the network will not function as advertised.


Telecom New Zealand has been airing advertisements for the network with one of the hosts of the popular Top Gear television series. XT is due to launch shortly. But this YouTube video posted recently implies Telecom's new network may have more in common with slow speeds rather than fast (via The National Business Review).
