This week the Government announced the first cities and towns to benefit from the rollout of ultra-fast broadband (UFB).
Crown Fibre Holdings has concluded negotiations to rollout fibre in Whangarei, Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Hawera and Tokoroa.
The rollout in Whangarei will start before Christmas, with other centres expected to begin early next year. The rollouts will be completed by 2015.
The UFB initiative will see 75 per cent coverage of ultra-fast broadband across the country by 2019.
The Rural Broadband Initiative is also progressing well. A shortlist of bidders has been released, and binding contracts are expected to be signed in early 2011.
Our broadband initiatives are a key part of National’s economic growth agenda.
