| 544061 | 2007-04-25 01:39:00 | Wednesday, 25 April 2007 New Zealand has edged up one place to 21st in the OECD table for broadband uptake. Strong growth in the number of broadband users in the six months to the end of December helped the country swap places with a sluggish Portugal. New Zealand had been stuck at 22nd in the OECD table for the previous three years and the low ranking was cited as a justification for the Government's decision to fully open Telecom's network to competitors and to propose splitting the company into three operating businesses. At the end of December there were 14 broadband connections for every 100 people in New Zealand, a little below the OECD average of 16.9 connections per 100 head of population. Australia also climbed one place in the OECD rankings, to 16th. Full Story: www.stuff.co.nz |
