David Cunliffe has reaffirmed the government's commitment to ts broadband target on breakfast TV last week.
Emphasising that the government's discussions with Telecom on operational separation are "going very well," the Minister noted that what is now needed is for the private sector to stump up with major investment.
TUANZ has repeatedly called for the industry, and Telecom especially, to re-invest at a pace that answers its customers' needs.
Meanwhile our ranking in the OECD league table for broadband remains at 21st. We have gained some good ground in 2006 but we are still more likely to be overtaken by Portugal than to head off Italy.
