Government extends time for submissions on facilitating broadband paper
Published: 10.11.2009
The government has extended the time available for interested parties to make submissions on the ultra-fast broadband complementary measures discussion document.
The discussion document outlines measures being considered to facilitate the deployment of broadband infrastructure by local fibre companies and other telecommunications companies.
"These measures will be instrumental in the successful roll-out of ultra-fast and high-speed broadband infrastructure. I'm keen for stakeholders to engage as fully as possible with the proposals and provide well thought out suggestions and feedback.
"In this context, I have decided to provide more time for submissions," said Communications and Information Technology Minister Steven Joyce.
Interested parties now have until 27 November to make a submission. Submitters will also have the opportunity to make cross-submissions until 11 December.
Presentations
The Ministry of Economic Development hosted workshops in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in the week of 12-16 October. Presentations from those workshops are now available on the Ministry’s website.
