Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
A recent poll of computer users has come out with a resounding demand for standard 3-year warranties on notebook computers.
The iTWire poll asked the question: Should 3-year warranties be
standard on notebooks? Of the 250 respondents, an overwhelming 91.9%
answered yes and just 8.1% answered no.
The issue of notebook warranties is bound to become a more contentious
one as recent surveys show that notebooks are becoming more predominant
in small business and increasing their share of overall PC sales in
relation to desktops.
Until now, the big brand notebook vendors have stubbornly refused to
back all but their most expensive high-end products with anything more
than a standard one-year warranty. Users have generally been able to
buy two year extensions at the time of purchase but for the additional
cost they may as well upgrade to a better model.
So far, notebook vendors have been able to ignore consumers on this
issue but as more notebooks become mission critical business devices, a
groundswell of consumer dissatisfaction will force vendors to provide
quality to match their prices.
