HOME PHONES PROTECTIONS CODE PROPOSED FOR NZ CONSUMERS

摘要

The Commission says the 111 contact code has been drafted to support home phonecustomers who may be unable to call 111 in a power cut, due to New Zealand’s transitionto new home phone networks like fibre and fixed wireless.“These new networks need a power supply in the home to work. This means they may notwork in a power cut,” cautions the Commission.Under changes to the Telecommunications Act, the Commission is required to design a 111contact code that telecommunications companies must follow.
