| 595799 | 2007-09-27 21:22:00 | New Zealand risks losing up to $4 billion a year in economic benefits if it doesn't move immediately to a fibre-based broadband network, says a report released this week. The study by business think-tank the New Zealand Institute investigates the economic benefits of broadband, determines the speeds needed to capture that value and the pace of change required to move to a fibre-based network. www.nzherald.co.nz 5:00AM Friday September 28, 2007 Skilling said with some countries having entry-level residential broadband packages offering 25 Mb/s - most urban New Zealand households would get broadband at speeds of between 1 and 4 Mb/s - some companies and industries would bypass New Zealand without improved bandwidth. :waughh: and we wait for the government's response to this :( |

Private companes are not going to build it for us, as the cost benefits don't add up . Apparently the governmnet may be buying telecoms copper network for around 3 billion , although that isn't going to help us for the future, as fibre is the best soluton . |
