Broadband Targets Will Not Be Met

The Telco Commissioner has delivered a blunt warning to Telecom that if it does not change its attitude to wholesaling, then the issue of local loop unbundling will come back on the table.

This makes me somewhat more optimistic that we will get a good decision out of the Commerce Commission with regards to the UBS determination, which may lead to faster and cheaper broadband offerings. Hearings on the draft determination will be held next week.
