NZ to get next generation phone network
Tim Richardson writes in The Register:
Telecom - New Zealand's incumbent telco - is to blow US$220m on a new digital phone network.
The first residential phone users are due to be migrated to New Zealand's next generation network by early 2007 with all 2.2m punters shunted across by 2012, the company announced today.
By replacing Telecom's existing traditional phone infrastructure with an IP network, the company claims it has the potential to reduce costs for customers.
The work is part of a broader US$1.4bn project to build a new network capable of giving users access to voice, data and video services.
