Comment Nz suffers same (Score 1) 197
New Zealand is currently suffering the possibility of a similar fee.
But then again it's being imposed by the monopoly player in the telecom's market. They intend to charge a 2c (NZ) / minute charge on all calls to ISP's that do not travel through a new (and lower priority) network access prefix.
They say the fee is an incentive to ensure that residential data users use the new number. (PS The same companies ISP doesn't actually use the new number even though it seems to, at least according to the info I saw which I do trust.)
