Telecom NZ's plan for NZ FTTP network

摘要

Telecom New Zealand has released details of how it proposes to participate in New Zealand's equivalent of Australia's National Broadband Network - the SNZ1.5 billion FTTP initiative announced by communications and IT minister Steven Joyce on 5 February. The new National Party Government swept away Labour's plan for a $NZ340m broadband investment fund announcing that instead it would to spend $1.5b over six year to take fibre to 75 percent of New Zealand homes. On 31 March Joyce issued a consultation paper detailing the Government's proposed investment model and inviting submission by 27 April. None of these submissions have yet (29 April) been posted on its web site. However, Telecom, TUANZ and Internet NZ have each released their submissions.
