This just shows how absolutely ridiculous the current practice is. It
is patently absurd for NZ Post to be charging businesses for this
information - next thing you know they will be charging per character
in the address label!
I have half a mind to buy the dataset and set up a web service that
businesses can connect to at a much cheaper rate. If I knew that enough
businesses would use it I think I would definitely go ahead and do it.

It becomes public information after you have compiled your own list,
and you can do what you want with that information.. Just build up the
list over some time.

worse than that Jim, err sorry, Sean.
It's $1000 per year and that's only to use it internally, not to
incorporate
it in some product.
I figure Google should buy a license and then who cares. :)
TTFN, Struan.
