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.
Of course, while customers are busy getting screwed,
Vodafone is busy spinning the announcement as somehow being a good
thing for consumers. It reckons that its customers should be happy in
the knowledge that they are enjoying better value for money than ever.
Amazingly, this appears to be being done with an
entirely straight face. A spokesperson for Vodafone reckons that
because they "increased the number of minutes and texts" customers get
bundled into their contracts in May, and added Internet access into
them for good measure, that they really have nothing to complain about.
Vodafone has a slogan of 'make the most of now' which seems to apply
pretty nicely to whatever period is left on a pay monthly contract. As
a Vodafone customer myself, I will certainly be making the most of
other network operators deals when the time comes to renew.
On a sadder note, it has been revealed
that Sally Sinclair, the 40 year old head of business analysis at
Vodafone UK, has been found stabbed to death at her UKP £1 million home
over the weekend.
A 47 year old local man has been arrested and is, as they say, helping the police with their inquiries.
The cause of death has been established as 'multiple stab wounds to the
upper torso' and the body was found in a pool of blood when police were
called to the house, which Sinclair shared with her husband and 10 year
old twin sons, at around 10pm on Saturday night.
Matthew Brearley, human resources director at Vodafone UK, said "Sally
will be deeply missed by her colleagues here at Vodafone. Our sympathy
goes out to Sally's family and friends."
