As Ronald Coase said in 1972
One important result of this preoccupation with the monopoly problem is that if an economist finds something—a business practice of one sort or other—that he çloes not understand, he looks for a monopoly explanation. And as in this field we are very ignorant, the number of ununderstandable practices tends to be rather large, and the reliance on a monopoly explanation, frequent.

I have no control of it so there will be Labour and TOP advertising from time to time.

Useless @SparkNZ only sells mobile monthly plans with @Spotify

I gave Spark one last chance today because I did not have any coins to park outside the 2 degrees shop this morning.
Showing their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, their only online plans with any decent amount of data come with this useless thing I have never heard of before called Spotify. That is an extra $10 a month for something of no value to me.
There was no way of opting out of this useless $10 addition to my bill or any way of even contacting them to talk about it.
Had my plan of a month’s vintage to dump Spark working perfectly. Balance was $1; prepay plan due to expire tomorrow with next to no data left to use.
Product bundling only works if you bundle it was something of value to the consumer. If you bundle your product with something of value only to a small subset of mobile users, you turn business away.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
