ad, NZ doesn't really have broadband and what we do have is way to
expensive the ad didn't exactly inspire confidence in me as a company
that is likely to succeed (and the fact that they think they're going to
be able to do wonders with $5 million doesn't help either). Did a quick

They've been around a while... Haven't seen the ads but I remember
hearing about them way back in 1998 or so. They were looking for
investment and touting roughly the same technology they are now. They
raised several million back then - guess they didn't do much with it.

Vapourware, in my opinion - nice if it were real, though.
