  5. So What’s Happening? – Nationally Tiers in Telecommunication Industry Services Tiers Competitive Zone Internet, voice, data transport, TV & video etc Carrier Infrastructure Tier Non-competitive Zone Fibre, copper, roadside cabinets, exchanges (part)

  6. So What’s Happening? - Nationally • A game of cat and mouse to control the bottom tier. • There is no competition at the infrastructure level – the poles, holes and cables. • Government has therefore regulated this and required Telecom to separate – Chorus. • Telecom has responded with cabinetisation programme. Laid fibre to roadside cabinets and transferred the brains to the cabinet. • This effectively circumvents the aging infrastructure of Chorus and re-establishes Telecoms competitive advantage.
