Nuovo documento del New Zealand Institute: Viene chiesto più esplicitamente di fare FTTH con finanziamenti governativi per il livello di rete passiva. C'e' un costo dell'attesa.

Earlier this month, the New Zealand Institute released another paper on broadband: The Need for Change. The call for FTTH becomes increasingly explicit. They stop short of calling for separation of Telecom New Zealand and providing government funding to the passive layer.

In an earlier report (September 2007), the benefits from increased productivity and growth (through telepresence) were calculated: 2.7-4.4bn NZD/year. Also, there is a cost to waiting. The institute proposed a 10 year roll out of FTTP for a 75% coverage.
