    WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE
    of phone and internet fees and charges?

    Researchers from Griffith University”™s Centre for Credit and Consumer Law are conducting a study of fees and charges imposed by telecommunication providers, including mobile phone, landline and internet. The study “˜Telco Fees and Charges: Trends and Implications for Consumers”™ is funded by the Australian Government through the Telecommunications Research Grants Program.

    We would like to hear from people who have had experience of fees and charges with these services. We are interested in finding out what fees and charges you have faced and how often they occurred, the amounts of the fees and charges, and how they have affected you.

    Participation in the project will involve an anonymous online survey. The survey should take about 10-15 minutes. You can also send in examples of bills and/or comments to be reported as an anonymous case study.

    Your participation in this study is entirely voluntary. Anything you document in the survey and in the case study will be completely anonymous.

    Your participation in the project is completely separate from the business of any telecommunications organisation. Comments and survey results will be published in a research report, and reported anonymously. Any personal details you provide will not be disclosed to any other organisation. If you would like to participate, please visit the website: http://www1.griffith.edu.au/centre/cccl/ NB Survey not online till after 10 March 2008 For more information, please contact Ms Nicola Howell on (07) 3735 4211 or telcoresearch@griffith.edu.au.
