Hi James, I think if you were to be charging unreasonable amounts to government departments / other companies for a feed, or if your website was unusable there would be a case for NZLive.com. How ever it does seem like just another case of governments doing what they do best, wasting tax payer money, and a significant amount of it.
It would be great if the government would act swiftly and pull the plug on NZlive.com, but, sadly, governments seem to be about as agile as quadriplegic elephants. I really doubt if the current government is any different, despite all the talk of cutting expenses.
