WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand's largest phone company Telecom Corp. of NZ on Wednesday apologized 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 $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 apologized and taking steps to stop anything like this...it's an aberration," Freeth told Reuters.
"May your future be limited only by your dreams."
