] Date Posted: 00:50:01 12/04/04 Sat In reply to: Ian (Australia) 's message, "Problems with privatisation" on 23:42:50 12/03/04 Fri The UK and US both operate a fully privitised telecommunications sector, if anything, I think their services in rural and regional areas are better than ours. There ways other public ownership to ensure decent services for all, as demonstarted in Britain. All public ownership does is promote inefficency and a lack of competition, which is indeed a detrement to services in rural and regional areas.

Date Posted: 12:41:53 12/04/04 Sat You can't simply apply the same model from far more densely populated countries. I'm not saying it can't work, but I have yet to see how a private company can run decent services in such isolated areas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
