Shares
online information about telco products and services can be difficult to find and understand,
telcos do not always responsibly promote or sell their products and services, and
consumers sometimes unknowingly sign up for products or services they do not need.
Complaints to the TIO can be the tip of the iceberg, according to the organisation.
In one case. the TIO reports receiving just under 100 complaints about a telco’s selling practices during a promotion.

The telco also improved its processes for future promotions.

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program’s goal is to support scholarly research in the humanities and social sciences that addresses important and enduring issues confronting society. Fazal is one of 26 fellows selected this year out of 311 people nominated.
The fellowship carries a $200,000 stipend, making it possible for recipients to devote up to two years to significant research and writing. It is one of the most generous awards of its kind supporting scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.
