Private Bin was surprised to learn that TeamTalk MD David Ware does not own a mobile.

Afterall, his company - which owns Wellington’s highly-regarded CityLink fibre network and sells digital radio gear - is rather heavily invested in the communications business.

“I used to have a cellphone years ago but I find I’m more productive without it,” Mr Ware told Private Bin.

“I organise meetings and people just turn up. It forces a little bit of discipline.”

Does he own a pager?

Nope.
