Speaking of landlines;

"... the Commerce Commission is taking One NZ to court, alleging a failure to 'inform and protect' vulnerable customers by ensuring they're told how to call 111 during a power cut.

Telecommunications Commissioner Tristan Gilbertson said a number of New Zealanders still relied on landlines and had no alternative if they stopped working."
