"Drop The Rate Mate" - via @benedict_x on twitter

"Drop The Rate Mate" Campaign Launches. Fights Against Vodafone And Telecom.

The day of expensive mobile charges is over.

Erine Newman (TUANZ CEO), Tex Edwards (2degrees), Sue Chetwin (the Consumer Association) have team up with Matthew Hooton, of public affairs consultancy -Exceltium- to create a web-based campaign urging government action over mobile termination rates.

Inspired by a similar campaign in the UK, 'Drop The Rate Mate' aims to support the Commerce Commission's draft on recommending government regulation on artificially inflated mobile termination rates created by Telecom and Vodafone to prevent competition and maintain their duopoly.
