Econet (EWNZ) are coming to town. According to this article in Stuff, Econet are planning to roll out a 3G cellular network in New Zealand.
I find this ironic, because no one seems to have picked up that this is a Zimbabwe based company. Remember Zimbabwe, and all the nasty things that were happening over there that almost upset the Black Caps tour?
I suppose it doesnt really matter as long as Hautaki Ltd is involved.
So who are Hautaki?
EWNZ has entered into a strategic partnership with Hautaki Ltd and has access to both 2.5 and 3G spectrum blocks. The former is held by EWNZ and the latter through a commercial arrangement with Hautaki Ltd. Hautaki Ltd holds its right to 3G spectrum on behalf of all Maori in New Zealand. In return, Hautaki Ltd has become a substantial shareholder in EWNZ.
So whats more important - A potential ongoing genoside in Zimbabwe, or a partnership with a New Zealand company?
And where are the Green Party when you need them?
