Big business is such a complex beast of many heads and separate brains. One head speaks to the public, selling wares and providing the Ryan Gosling-esque white toothed grin of confidance. Another is the elusive, complex and often brilliant mastermind, finding solutions and planning new creations. They don’t often speak to each other and this often shows.

As a bit of a follow up to my ongoing drama with Australia’s premium mobile communications provider, Telstra, I’ve done a couple of tests.

Our then mobile phone provider, we’ll call them 4 to maintain their anonymity, appeared to offer little or no coverage at our suburban home. Undaunted we fought them in the trenches and open fields until the spectre of the telecommunications ombudsman smote them.
