| 450237 | 2006-04-28 07:27:00 | From: computerworld.co.nz (computerworld.co.nz) LLU happening next Monday? Our mole in Wellington tells us that Cunliffe has indeed has a gutsful of Telecom riding roughshod over regulation, the government’s digital strategy and customers alike, and has speeded up his promised industry stocktake considerably. It will, moley tells us, be delivered to cabinet this Monday already in fact. We don’t know much what the stocktake contains at this stage, but gather that local loop unbundling is in and so is structural separation of Telecom into network and wholesale operations. Well, the latter option seems to be weak, and may be scrapped if Telecom belly-aches enough. Here’s hoping the government won’t back out of structural separation, because reports so far point to Telecom’s NGN being pretty much “unbundling proof” already, with fibre-optic circuits and roadside cabinets that don’t have room for competitors’ equipment – adding gear inside Telecom’s network would be hugely expensive for other providers. We’ll know next week I hope if the above is true or not. |

| 450242 | 2006-04-29 01:14:00 | I don't quite understand why so many people want LLU or a Telecom restructure when a similar process failed so miserably in the electricity sector. Remember how separating the lines and supply would result in cheaper electricity for everybody?? And what happened .... increases in electricity costs, "possible brown-outs" every winter, and no significant new investment in generation capability (the RMA has some culpability here as well). I don't think LLU is the shining bright light that everyone thinks it is. :2cents: |

| 450243 | 2006-04-29 08:52:00 | "Telecom New Zealand's local loop to be unbundled next week" Err, wouldn't it take a few years? I really don't know how ISP's will go about the fibre that's being installed if LLU does indeed happen, hmmm. |
