Telecommunications Market Reports

The New Zealand telecoms market is now a dynamic
market as the reforms that have been occurring over the past years are taking effect
for the benefit of the end-users and the competing operators. In late 2011 Telecom New Zealand,
the incumbent operator, was split in two so as the ultra-fibre network could be deployed by the
demerged network access entity Chorus. Chorus now becomes the provider of fixed-line access and
telecommunications infrastructure. Read the report

New Zealand Internet
Usage and Broadband Status
Internet access
Three-quarters of New Zealanders have
access to the internet at home or at work. That represents a rise
of 29 points from 48% in February 2000 to 77% in November, 2004,
according to the latest NBR-Phillips Fox poll. Among those who
have access, nearly 60% use the internet at least once a day.
But despite the higher numbers, the amount of business New
Zealanders conduct over the internet is static. Data security and
ensuring the safety of commercially sensitive information are
among the concerns involved around internet-based business.
Online share trading remains at virtually nil, with little change
from September 2002.
Internet users appear to be taking heed of music industry
warnings and downloading less music, a five-point dip from
September 2002's 24% of respondents. But Kiwis are buying more
books over the past three months, 14% of respondents had
bought a book online, up six points from 2002.
Surprisingly, an area that also remains static is online grocery
shopping, floating around the 3% mark. Supermarkets attribute
this to the fact people like to pick their own groceries, and
the main concern of internet shopping the hesitancy
to enter credit card details online.
Increased broadband access in remote areas has seen rural
communities going online with greater ease than ever before.
However, according to the Ministry of Economic Development (MED)
broadband users in New Zealand were paying significantly more for
access than in other OECD countries. The report looking at
the cost of broadband internet, fixed-line and mobile telephone
calls revealed New Zealand businesses pay 160% above the
OECD average for medium data users and 80% more than low data
users.
New Zealand compares well in terms of broadband access
availability compared to other OECD countries. And it is still
improving Woosh announced the launch of four new
transmission sites in Auckland in November, 2004. The wireless
internet company said the new sites two of which are in
Manukau will incorporate another 15,000 households and
businesses into its coverage area.
Source: UMR Research The UMR Research omnibus is a telephone survey of a
nationally representative sample of 750 New Zealanders aged 18 or
older. Fieldwork was conducted from November 4-8 at UMR
Research's national interview facility in Auckland. The margin of
error for a 50% figure at the "95% confidence level" is
±3.6%.
