You companies are paying a dividend, (related to the amount of capital you have invested), therefore ComCom (or the Labour Government) needs to cut your prices and pay this dividend to your customers so you don't have any dividend or just a derisory one, say 1% on capital, no, that's too large, its ripping off the consumer.
Outfits like Callphone, Vodafone, 2 Degrees, Orcon, should hang their heads in shame. Lets apply ComCom to them and abolish dividends to their owners....
