Telecom Corporation New Zealand - Company Overview - 2011

Synopsis

Telecom Corporation of New Zealand is New Zealand’s largest telecommunications company and the incumbent operator. The company provides a full range of Internet, broadband data, voice, mobile and fixed-line calling services for customers in New Zealand.

In mid-2011 the company had received some Ultra-Fast Broadband Network initiatives in some regions, as well as over $200 million in RBI funding to provide the backhaul to allow schools, hospitals access in rural areas.

The company is passing through a transformational period in response to changing industry regulations and the announcement in 2009 of public funding for a national UFB. Telecom submitted several variations to its operational separation undertakings in relation to the UFB. In late 2010 these amendments were accepted by the Minister for Communications and Information Technology.
