Of course we do not live in the kind of free market system where if a company buggers up like that they better appologise and fix it before they lose a customer, we live in a ¨internet-consumer¨ system with a single government sanctioned monopoly provider who doesn´t care two hoots about their customers OR their staff (what kind of a company records multiple-bilions in profit and then fires 7000 employees in the same month ? A very unethical one).
Oh well, moaning about it won´t fix it, I just wanted to let you know that sentech is coming through clean.
