Telecom exec hunts down iPhone thief
PLUS: Crown Fibre goes down | How to tie your shoe laces.
Telecom may not be an official Apple carrier, but its technology-neutral Gen-i division still sells iPhones and iPads – and its boss knows how to use them; including the value-add Mobile Me service, which syncs devices, and can be use used to run a GPS trace.
Gen-i Australasia chief executive Chris Quin offered the following on Twitter last night:
Crown Fibre down
Crown Fibe Holdings' website was down for most of yesterday – bad news for journos, or anyone in the industry after the Chorus or Enable deal summary documents (Tuanz was good enough to step in and post them on its site; see links in NBR's story here).
A CFH spokesman acknowledged that the site was inaccessible but was not immediately aware of the reason. There's probably some kind of copper/fibre joke in there, somewhere.
[UPDATE: A telecommunications professional with a high profile on Twitter told NBR: "For some reason Crown Fibre Holdings registered its name with an overseas DNS [domain name server] provider instead of a New Zealand-based provider.
"While the site may be resolving today, there are definitely still issues!" Scroll down this report. Red is bad.]
