There is talk over on Geekzone* around Telstra in HD (High Definition). After some discussion about what will, could and should happen with some annoyance from a few of the posters Jeff Doyle (Market Manager - InHome Services, TelstraClear) came on and left a reasoned and detailed comment.
Top work.
However it was the comment directly following Jeff's that caught my eye:
And that's a perfect of example of why businesses should engage with customers using on-line communities

That's great to hear!
I'm on Telstra Triple play and was considering dumping Telstra TV in favour of SKY HDi but I think I'll hold off.

You keep your customers
And you do it by talking to them in their space and not forcing them to come to you!

I was thinking the same thing when I saw Telstra's response. All companies need someone who's job is scouring the newsgroups, forums and blogs, and responding to questions/criticisms/suggestions. Vodafone's Paul Brislen is a good example of this. I don't always agree with what Vodafone or Paul says, but I truly appreciate them for engaging with the community.
