Look, life for a lot of people is not about 'look how much money we've made' (actually KPN aren't making much). People with a life and not just a bank account actually care about doing a decent job and feeling good about it; profit is the reward for doing so. If our wondrous market economy is failing to reward competence and diligence, then it's time our economic model is rebuilt.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 4 April 2013, 14:39.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

On the original question:
As a service company for consumers: Yep
As a service company for small and medium sized businesses: Yep
As a service company for large businesses: Yep
As an employer: Yep
As a B2B customer: Yep
As a contractor client: Yep
On the point above about KPN, I worked with them in 2000/1 on a contract in The Hague and they were a decent bunch. Probably the only telecoms contract I've enjoyed.Comment
