Missing trampers reunited with modern communications

Two trampers not heard from for 8 days in the rugged South Westland bush were spotted yesterday in the Fantail Cafe in Haast avoiding Sheryl's "Crassints with chips".  Questioned by DOC Haast as to their distressed appearance it appears they had not been near a telephone, email or cricket news for at least a week due to Telecom's abuse of its monopoly position in regards to Red Mountain broadband facilities.  Trusty mountain radio technology also failed, and further government regulation of the mountain radio service is now expected to be announced. Thankfully, inane communications have now been restored.  An unnamed source in Kumara was quoted as saying "I think they should've sent a helicopter into some of those huts to check whether or not they were there.  I have a list of good places to check."
