If you hadn't heard about the dark side of telescums XT network...

Telecom further disputed Vodafone's case by saying that if interference arises between networks, then both receivers (Vodafone) and transmitters (Telecom) share the burden to resolve it. Vodafone's argument, in seeking the injunction, is that Telecom must bear the burden.
Vodafone claimed the accelerated launch timetable of Telecom's new network was a "gamble" to strong-arm its way into an advantageous position.
Vodafone, represented by Julian Miles QC and Allison Ferguson of Wilson Harle, told Justice Geoffrey Venning that Telecom knew "rogue signals" from its new network were "inevitable" and knew they interfered with Vodafone's network.
Miles said bringing forward the launch date from June 2009 to next week, along with a concerted advertising campaign, was a deliberate attempt to capitalise on this.
"They can claim to be a superior service at the same time they are degrading their principle competitors' [Vodafone] network," said Miles.
Further, Miles told the court that since the XT network is currently only operating at 20 percent power, when it officially launches and ramps up to full power, the interference will become much worse.
Vodafone says this would be dangerous because its network carries the emergency services and district health boards communications.
For what possible reason did Telecom HAVE to put their new powerful yes-we-know-it-will-interefere-with-vodafone network on the radio spectrum RIGHT beside Vodafones? Was there no other possible place to set the frequency? Yeah right. This is deliberate.
Fucking wankers.
