Final price determinations for Telecom's Unbundled Bitstream Service were announced this morning by the Commerce Commission. Ranging from $27.44 for a basic service with POTS, to $84.62 for a rural service without POTS, the prices are within a few percent of the Commission's August draft report and contain no surprises. They'll be effective from the second half of next year, though from past experience and with service providers champing at the bit they'll probably start to influence the market a lot sooner than that.
This is a milestone in the Commission's work programme for fixed lines. The people at the ComCom, led by Telecommunications Commissioner Dr Ross Patterson with Osmond Borthwick and his team, have had a huge year. It's a great credit to them that so much has been accomplished in the twelve months since the passage of the Amendment Act.
Well done guys, from TUANZ - a relaxing break is very well deserved!
