  • New Zealand Broadband: Free TV's and Fridges - the Consumer Wins but Is It Sustainable?
    MARKET PERSPECTIVE New Zealand Broadband: Free TV's and Fridges - The Consumer Wins but is it Sustainable? Peter Wise Shane Minogue Monica Collier Jefferson King Sponsored by Spark New Zealand Limited IDC OPINION The New Zealand telecommunications market is shifting; from a focus around better and faster connectivity, to service innovations and value. Consumers are enjoying better internet connectivity and a raft of competitive offers from more than 90 retailers. Retailers, however, are feeling the pinch of decreasing margins. Questions are starting to arise about the sustainability of such a competitive retail marketplace. Total telecommunications market revenues increased by 1.1% from NZ$5.361 billion in the year to December 2016 to NZ$5.421 billion in the year to December 2017. IDC forecasts that this growth will continue in future years with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.4% to 2021. However, this growth disguises the true story of a market that is displaying extreme price pressure and competition in both fixed and mobile. Overall, ARPUs are either flat or declining in both broadband and mobile and in the broadband space Retail Service Providers (RSPs) continue to compete away any chance of strong, sustainable ARPU growth. New Zealand telecommunication's structural separation and national broadband plan have created new constructs and market dynamics. The UFB initiative has commoditised fibre in New Zealand. Consumer fibre plan prices have plummeted from averaging over NZ$200 per month in 2013 to around NZ$85 per month as at February 2018. Fibre is available to more than a million homes and premises, and over a third have made the switch.

    Turitea wind farm Community Liaison Group 10 February 2021 MARGARET KOUVELIS welcomed everyone to the meeting, noting it was being held at a new time (5pm) and the intention to hold meeting to one hour. She noted that everyone should have signed in using the Golf Club’s QR poster downstairs, and handed over to Dennis Radich. Present from Mercury: Dennis Radich (Project Director), John Campbell (Project Manager), Duncan Annandale (Property Manager), Mark Henry (Environmental Resources Manager), Katy Scoullar (Communications Manager). From Vestas: Kenn Wood (Project Manager) HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THESE MEETINGS? We’ve been looking at what these meetings are for, and whether we achieve that • Length of meetings • What we use the time to talk about • Room hire and catering 2 MEETING FORMAT RE-SET DENNIS said that it is now a logical time to review this meeting format as in May it will be 2 years since our first meeting, and major construction work on the transmission line is largely complete. We wanted to know how we could improve the way we hold these meetings to make them more useful and valuable. Attendance from people in the community has dwindled. Take away the project and contrator teams and there’s actually a very small number who attend. We used our email mailing list to seek feedback on the meeting format, along with the other ways we share information with the community. Our conclusions are that these meetings are too long, we hire a room too big for what we need and because the meetings are so long we need sustenance.

  • Infratil Limited and Vodafone New Zealand Limited
    PUBLIC VERSION NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE FOR A BUSINESS ACQUISITION UNDER SECTION 66 OF THE COMMERCE ACT 1986 17 May 2019 The Registrar Competition Branch Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 Wellington New Zealand [email protected] Pursuant to section 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986, notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. BF\59029236\1 | Page 1 PUBLIC VERSION Pursuant to section 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986, notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition (the transaction) in which: (a) Infratil Limited (Infratil) and/or any of its interconnected bodies corporate will acquire shares in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), such shareholding not to exceed 50%; and (b) the SPV and/or any of its interconnected bodies corporate will acquire up to 100% of the shares in Vodafone New Zealand Limited (Vodafone). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION 1. This proposed transaction will result in Infratil having an up to 50% interest in Vodafone, in addition to its existing 51% interest in Trustpower Limited (Trustpower). 2. Vodafone provides telecommunications services in New Zealand. 3. Trustpower has historically been primarily a retailer of electricity and gas. In recent years, Trustpower has repositioned itself as a multi-utility retailer. It now also sells fixed broadband and voice services in bundles with its electricity and gas products, with approximately 96,000 broadband connections. Trustpower also recently entered into an arrangement with Spark to offer wireless broadband and mobile services. If Vodafone and Trustpower merged, there would therefore be some limited aggregation in fixed line broadband and voice markets and potentially (in the future) the mobile phone services market.
