Hmmmm, not so easy after all.....

UPDATE May 11, 6pm: New Zealand's brave experiment with a "global mode" ISP is over almost as soon as it began.

FYX CEO Andrew Schick has just released the following statement:

FYX has made a decision to withdraw its popular ‘global mode’ service from the market for the time being.

FYX sincerely apologises to our customers and the New Zealand internet community for putting a halt to ‘global mode,’ which will happen tonight at 11.59pm.

While legal opinions have supported FYX’s global mode under New Zealand law, there are matters that require further consideration before continuing the service.
