  • ON the FRONTIER of DEREGULATION: New Zealand Telecommunications and the Problem of Interconnecting Competing Networks
    On the Frontier of Deregulation Reason Foundation Policy Study No. 177 May 1994 ON THE FRONTIER OF DEREGULATION: New Zealand Telecommunications and the Problem of Interconnecting Competing Networks by Milton Mueller EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Telecommunications is undergoing a revolution. Despite the apparent revolution in industry structure, the public policy questions raised by the new developments have changed little. The debate revolves around the same two fundamental issues that have haunted the industry since well before the AT&T divestiture. ⋅ First, to what extent can market competition replace regulation as the arbiter of telecommunications service markets? ⋅ Second, how does one define “competition” and “monopoly power” in a marketplace as complex as communications? Whether cable-telco mergers will result in a wide-open rivalry or create frightening mega-monopolies is a policy debate that will resound throughout the 1990s. The biggest problem facing regulators in the new competitive environment has been to adjudicate and coordinate interconnection relationships among competing systems. In most nations, including the United States, these issues have been, or are being, resolved via processes in which regulators have tried to enforce parity between large incumbents and their smaller rivals. One exception to this is New Zealand. There policymakers have attempted to resolve these matters via market transactions alone, relying on open entry and the threat of litiqation under an antitrust law. The assumption behind most equal-access policies is that, without regulation, inequalities between the incumbents and new entrants constitute a fatal obstacle to effective competition in telecommunications markets. However, the New Zealand experience indicates otherwise. Despite the obvious inequalities in the interconnection agreement, national and international toll competition have functioned at least as successfully as in countries with policies that promote or protect competitors.

  • A Brief Look at of Leading Change 1987 - 1993
    A BRIEF LOOK AT OF LEADING CHANGE 1987 - 1993 1994 - 1998 1999 - 2016 2016 - present 2 I TUANZ – A brief look at 30 years of leading change In the world of technology, a year can sometimes be a very long time, let alone thirty years. But that’s exactly how long our organisation has been around. Over that time we’ve seen monumental changes in the telecommunications services that we use - starting from those early days of low speed digital services, to today’s ultra fast speeds over fibre. We’ve become mobile and now we’re heavily dependent on those wirelessly connected devices in all aspects of our lives, as well as in our businesses. Over those years of tremendous change, TUANZ has been a constant. Our organisation has continued to keep us connected and educated on the new tech and the issues of the day. We’ve been a constant advocate on behalf of users and continued to represent our members views all the way through. In this history we have not tried to be comprehensive. It would have been impossible to speak to all that have been involved over the years, but we’ve tried to give you a picture of what has happened over that time through the eyes of some of the key players. It shows how our story is a key part of the development of the tele- communications sector and how we’ve been involved every step of the way. I hope you enjoy reading about the last 30 years. It’s still an exciting time to be involved and I commend the future of TUANZ to you.

    NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NATIONAL PHILATELIC SOCIETY A GUIDE TO THE LIBRARY AND A LISTING OF BOOKS AND PERIODICALS RELATING TO NEW ZEALAND AND THE PACIFIC ISLANDS Introduction : Since April 2007 the books and journals owned by the New Zealand Society of Great Britain, and which previously formed its Library, have been on permanent loan to the National Philatelic Society (NPS). Those books and journals, and later additions, are now managed as part of the NPS Library. For several years until mid 2012 the NPS Library was housed in Freeling House, which is part of Royal Mail’s Mount Pleasant complex in London WC1. This was arranged courtesy of the British Postal Museum and Archive (BPMA), which for the moment continues to operate from the same building. However, much of the Mount Pleasant complex is being redeveloped and both the BPMA and the NPS must move out. The BPMA is due to move to nearby Calthorpe House by late 2014 and has secured initial funding for this from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The NPS Library, however, was required to move out in autumn 2012, and has for the time being moved all the material held in Freeling House to storage facilities at Bill Hill Park, near Wokingham, where some older material was already kept. Since it is not practicable to open these facilities to either NPS or NZSGB members on a regular basis, the NPS is currently examining options for a more accessible location for the Library, if possible alongside a new venue for its meetings. Using the Library : NZSGB members are entitled to use the NPS Library on the same terms as NPS members and may borrow and request copies of material in the Library.

  • 2002 Transformation Plan
    Transformation Plan April 2002 United States Postal Service Transformation Plan Message from the Chairman of the Board, Robert F. Rider, and Postmaster General & CEO, John E. Potter. The Postal Service is delivering on its commitment to the Senate and the House of Representatives to develop a comprehensive Transformation Plan. The Congress’s recognition of and concern for the seriousness of the situation facing the Postal Service has been most encouraging to the Governors and postal management. Successful transformation will require strong and committed leadership from the Governors, the Postmaster General and all postal employees. Working together with our many stakeholders, including the executive and legislative branches, we will forge a new and modern business model for an institution that has served this country and evolved with changing times since 1789. We recognize our responsibility to take definitive action and to offer the citizens of America a clear and compelling view of current and planned actions, and our vision of where we are headed. At the same time we want and encourage all our stakeholders to remain actively engaged in discussions about postal issues and the Postal Service's future. To that end, we call your attention not only to the Executive Summary, but to all the supporting materials, especially the appendices. These sections provide the detailed information that will enable further dialogue and understanding. This Transformation Plan is about enabling the Postal Service to successfully carry out its long-standing mission of providing affordable universal service. It is about maintaining a fundamental principle and vision that delivery of mail is an important and vital government service, regardless of where one lives or what one’s station in life might be.
