Telecom shut out of local fibre companies

Chris Keall | Tuesday March 31, 2009 | 1 comment

Retail telcos will be barred from owning more than 50% of one of the government’s proposed 25 Local Fibre Companies (LFCs), the public-private companies that would bring fibre-to-the-premises under Steve Joyce’s $1.5 billion broadband plan.

“Retail telcos cannot be a majority partner in an LFC ,” says Forsyth Barr senior analyst Guy Hallwright, “so that is going to act as a significant constraint on Telecom’s plans”.
