The Internet Society of New Zealand (IntemetNZ) has issued an RFP for a consulting report to assess broadband strategy options for New Zealand. Executive director Keith Davidson said announcements from political parties had spurted considerable public debate about how best to achieve a much higher level of broadband penetration for business and consumers, both urban and rural. "The announcements offer differing visions and raise significant questions as to the best path forward to achieve widespread broadband penetration. With this RFP InternetNZ is taking a leadership role in researching and analysing the proposals and other current thinking both locally and internationally. We aim to inform the public debate and provide a base of pragmatic advice about the best way to proceed, given the high public interest in securing a successful outcome.. This is not a call for just another consulting report we want concrete advice on how to roll out these services in the most cost effective manner."
