KEY POINTS:
Outgoing Telecom boss Theresa Gattung will face some of her company's more trenchant critics today as the countdown continues to her departure.
With just a month left of her tenure at the helm of New Zealand's largest listed company, Gattung will be talking at the Telecommunications Users Association of New Zealand Telecommunications Day 2007 event in Wellington.
She will get 20 minutes to talk about Telecommunications in New Zealand -- The Year Ahead, as will competitors TelstraClear chief executive Allan Freeth and Vodafone New Zealand general manager commercial development Tom Chignell.
Capping off the day will be the principal architect of the Telecom privatisation, former politician Richard Prebble, who has 45 minutes to consider the move in hindsight, and talk about the Government's major policy shift of the past year.
Minister of Communications David Cunliffe gets just 25 minutes for what he has described as a "wide-ranging speech on current telecommunications issues, including a number of announcements".
