CallPlus statement re Global Mode

CallPlus statement re Global Mode

15 April 2015

We have responded to SKY, Spark, Mediaworks and TVNZ’s cease and desist letters today.

We reject their vague assertions and are seeking clarification of their claims.

We stand by our strongly-held belief that access to the internet via Global Mode is completely legal, and believe threats of legal action from this gang of big media companies are just an attempt to restrict consumer choice in favour of their profits.

NZ consumers simply don’t want to have limited content options, and to pay more for goods and services in NZ – whether it be for digital content, books, DVDs or software – than our overseas cousins.

We’re glad to see that ByPass, who supply the Global Mode service to us, have not caved in to these unfair demands so that together we can keep Global Mode going for the benefit of Kiwi consumers.
