Research and Markets: New Zealand - Ultra-Fast Broadband Network: Further Details of New Zealand's Investment of NZ$1.5 Billion into a National Ultra Fast Broadband Network
DUBLIN--(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3905c2/new_zealand_ultr) has announced the addition of the "New Zealand - Ultra-fast broadband network" report to their offering. The New Zealand government has given further details on the policies it announced earlier this year regarding its NZ$1.5 billion investment in a national ultra-fast broadband network. The plan has received widespread support. Based on a wholesale-only open network the new infrastructure will set the country up for the new direction that is being taken in telecommunications - from a telephone, and in recent times an Internet, network to essential infrastructure for a range of other economic and social sectors. But the policy lacks details about the use of the infrastructure for the healthcare, education and energy sectors, all of which are under the direct control of the government. These 'content' components need to be developed parallel to the infrastructure. And Telecom will need to clarify its role in this new plan. Key Topics Covered: 1. Synopsis 2.
