I could be wrong, but didn't Telecom build their first cellular network,
after it was privatised? Which technically means it wasn't
Government/Taxpayer funded, which means that even though it's a duopoly,
it's not like it's a (directly) taxpayer funded one.

Still, personally I think the Vodafone vs Telecom Mobile situation is
light-years ahead of any other toe-to-toe clashes with Telecom, even if
we're still paying too much, at least prices are coming down and services
are going up (even if you need to be a 7 year-old to appreciate them...)

Just my 2c (nothing at all to do with my employer), I need a beer and it's
not even Friday...
