This story has been reported on for months. I LIKE THAT CONCEPT! We have to punish people who drive waaay too fast, let's say next to a school - in a way that makes a dent. Mister! Here is your ticket - 10 cents - that'll teach you! If I ever see you doin' this again it'll be 15!!! Riight. The Finns pave the way in more ways than one.

NZ phone firm adds insult to bill, apologises Once again, those folks down under appear to have hit upon a good idea (IMHO) Jeff Vayda NZ phone firm adds insult to bill, apologises Reuters, Feb 13 2002 Print-friendly format E-mail this information WELLINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - New Zealand's largest phone company Telecom Corp of NZ on Wednesday apologised and offered compensation to a customer after charging him a "penalty for being an arrogant bastard." Telecom has ordered an investigation into how Auckland businessman James Storrie received the NZ$337.50 ($140) charge shown on his monthly mobile phone bill. "How can they speak to their clients like this? It's downright rude," Storrie told the New Zealand Herald newspaper, which carried his photograph holding the objectionable bill. Telecom spokesman Martin Freeth said the company was appalled and embarrassed by the rude statement and had made an offer of compensation. "We've apologised and taking steps to stop anything like this...it's an aberration," Freeth told Reuters. ^ REUTERS@
