| 457136 | 2006-05-23 07:15:00 | I got this email from telstra today, wonder what they have up there sleeves? Anyone have a heads up? 17 May 2006 Recently, the Government made some significant decisions that will improve competition in the telecommunications market . Local loop unbundling, Naked DSL and a range of other techo terms have a lot of people in the industry very excited . The only thing you really need to know about these is that they'll allow TelstraClear to offer better services to more customers at better prices . Having fought for change for more than a decade and invested $1 . 5 billion in infrastructure, we're very excited about the future - as you may have seen in our recent full-page newspaper advertisements . It also means we're ready to make the most of opportunities . From the calls and emails we've had from customers, we know that everyone is keen to see these announcements turned into better services as soon as possible . While no one wants to offer better deals more than we do, it will take time for the announcements to be passed into law . We could wait, but - as we say around here - Now's Good . Soon we'll be announcing some new broadband plans from TelstraClear for those who don't already enjoy fast, great value plans on our own network . They'll be the beginning of what is possible in an open, truly competitive market . So, watch this space as TelstraClear continues to change the game . Thanks for choosing us . The Team at TelstraClear |

So how much will it cost to cover all of NZ then, including all the curent dial up only rural areas? |

Don't be to hard on Telstra, they did try and put cables into Auckland but the Auckland city council voted they were "ugly" , lol like the power lines that run on the same poles are pretty? |

I generally agree with you, but I believe they started in CHCH and Wellington as basically a test and because it was easy ish to get consent etc . After being refused entry into the most populous city in NZ (Auckland), I too would loose motivation to go further, especially with Telecom calling ALL the shot (till recently of course) . I would think Auckland was a BIG part of there overall NZ strategy, and without it they would always be lagging behind in NZ revenue etc . |
