Prepare for another bubble FAIL: Yahoo!Xtra cancelling Flickr PRO status?
UPDATE: read the bottom for an update.
Arghhh. When are things going to look good for the Telecom Yahoo!Xtra team and their included premium services? Ive just posted this in our Geekzone forums and contacted Telecom - someone is looking into this now:
Hi freitasm_xtra,
Your Flickr Pro account expired on . You have 316 photos but you're now only seeing the last 200!
Perhaps you'd like to renew your Pro account?
You'll even get 3 months free for purchasing before 30 September 2008!
You can learn more here:

The Flickreenos
No date in the "expired on", and indeed my PRO status is gone. Another storm coming? Or is just my account?
I contacted the Telecom support and received a response, which is obviously not good enough. I don't think I should be contacting Flickr since this is a Telecom service:
I am sorry to hear about your Flickr Pro account has been cancelled. Unfortunately we do not support the Flickr here, I would need to refer your to the help section within www.flickr.com/help/ There is a "contact us" option on this page that maybe your best option.
I can confirm that your Xtra account is all active and can see no reason why you shouldn't have a valid Flickr account.
UPDATE: After talking to someone at Telecom New Zealand the case was escalated to Yahoo! in the U.S. It looks like there aren't any other cases of accounts being cancelled so let's see how it goes - waiting for my account to be reinstated.
UPDATE: The Flickr team at some point reprovisioned the account and it is all fine again. Also their team member Tara posted in the forums to confirm this was ok.

Dear *****
We are writing to make you aware of the provision of some of your personal information to the New Zealand Police.
The Police served a search warrant on Trade Me requiring information on people who had traded with 8 suspects associated with the “Urewera Raids” late last year. We are compelled by law to provide information in response to search warrants.
Some of your information was amongst that provided. There is no suggestion that you were in any way related to these events last year, apart from being one of 3000 who traded with someone that was a suspect in this investigation.
Both the Privacy Act 1993 (Principle 11) and the Trade Me Terms and Conditions (Section 6.10) and Privacy Policy allow for personal information to be provided in matters related to maintenance of the law by public sector agencies.
If you have any more questions in respect of the matter, the Police Detective leading the investigation is ****************
We are sorry to have to bring this to your attention, but given current media focus on the issue we believed we should make you aware of the situation.
If you have concerns in respect of how we have acted in relation to the Privacy Act 1993, you can make complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (http://www.privacy.org.nz/ )
Sincerely
Trade Me Support
