New Zealand - Broadband - Statistics, Overview & Providers

Synopsis

The NZ government has committed to partnering with the private sector to accelerate the rollout of close to $3.5 billion for an ultra-fast broadband service to 75% of New Zealanders within the next ten years. The government’s $1.5 billion commitment New Zealand will create a booming ICT industry based on the services being able to be developed and delivered using the UFB. Nevertheless the current copper, 3G and cable networks will continue to provide services well into the future.

Broadband uptake continued by 14% in 2009 above the OECD average, a trend that is likely to continue through to 2010/11 by which time fibre based services may be more widely available. Vodafone, TelstraClear and Telecom have all invested in VDSL2 technology and are rolling out these networks. In this report we provide an outline of the key broadband providers in the New Zealand market as well as broadband statistics and forecasts to 2010.
