Some tweaking for Chorus
Amy Adams announced:
Information and Communications Technology Minister Amy Adams has welcomed the agreement by Crown Fibre Holdings and Chorus on the first tranche of amendments to the companies’ Ultra-Fast Broadband contract.
Chorus has details of the changes:
- More flexibility over deployment timing, so long as still finished by agreed completion date
- Can use Cat 5e cabling within apartment buildings rather than fibre to each apartment
- A charge for Greenfields reticulation to developers
The changes look relatively minor, and a pragmatic response to the funding shortfall Chorus has.
