New Zealand incumbent Telecom NZ is not among the list of companies selected for priority talks around the government’s $NZ1.5bn (about US$1bn) ultra-fast broadband project, according to media reports.
The three selected companies include Alpine Energy, the Central North Island Fibre Consortium and Northpower, as their proposals included a combination of access prices, funding provisions, industry experience and financial backing, according to Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH) chairman Simon Allen, as quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Telecom is nonetheless still on the list of 14 companies that remain important contenders for future negotiations, said state-owned CFH in charge of the broadband project, according to the newspaper.
