Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89194) has announced the
addition of "New Zealand - Regulatory Environment - Telecommunications
Act" to their offering.

In September 2007 the New Zealand government announced that it was
going ahead with its plan to split Telecom New Zealand into three
separate operational units to provide retail, wholesale and network
services.

The determination sets requirements for Access Network Services
(ANS) to provide services over existing copper, and future fibre and
wireless access networks, ensuring comprehensive service coverage and
ensuring that the unit is forward-looking and future-proofed. An
overview and analysis of this major government reform is also
provided. Other regulatory developments are contained in the two
separate reports: New Zealand - Regulatory Environment - Local Loop
Unbundling & TSO and New Zealand - Regulatory Environment - Mobile,
