I am a Canadian woman living in New Zealand. The state of the internet here in New Zealand is pittyful. But I AM doing something about it. I work for a IT Company called The Deal Ltd. We are aiming to change the face of e-comm in New Zealand. Check us out at www.thedeal.co.nz. Not only are we battling the concept that online shopping isnt safe, but we are also aiming to deal with the fact that Kiwi's are so so SO overcharged for everything they need. The internet is about information exchage. Our goal is to use that information exhange to breakdown walls in e-commerce and over charging in New Zealand. Bring REAL commerce to the marketplace. Competition in pricing, and competition in web savvyness.
