Bring Vodafone NZ on said Telecom NZ
August 18, 2003
Telecom Mobile NZ customers currently enjoy the best and fastest technology
in New Zealand and it’s natural that competitors want to catch up, Telecom
General Manager Mobile Kevin Kenrick said today after Vodafone NZ unveiled
plans last week to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a 3G mobile
partnership in New Zealand over the next two years.
Vodafone NZ Managing Director Tim Miles said the network will be rolled
out progressively over the next 18 months, initially focusing on major
urban and provincial centers.
“Bring it on. We welcome competition - it’s keeping all our customers
up to date with the world’s best technology,” Mr Kenrick said.
“Through our Mobile JetStream network, Telecom already has a big technology
advantage over Vodafone. We have been providing fast data services in
New Zealand for the past year at up to 3G rates that are comparable with
the speeds achieved on early generation W- CDMA networks - the sort of
3G network Vodafone is talking about building.
“Our data rates are about twice as fast as the competition’s GPRS network.
We also have better network efficiency and support for a wider range of
applications.
“We’re launching a lot of services that take advantage of our capability,
particularly with the integration of Telecom Mobile and Internet services
through Xtra. We have many more innovations planned for release in the
next year.
“As well as our investment in CDMA in New Zealand, Telecom is supporting
W-CDMA deployment in Australia, through our investment in Hutchinson Australia.
We have rights to spectrum in the 2GHz band that would enable quick deployment
of W-CDMA in New Zealand when the time is right.
“Through our own Mobile JetStream and our relationship with Hutchison,
we’re also learning a lot about the applications that people want from
3G.
“However, you have to ask whether a country as small as New Zealand can
support so many networks - the industry really should be looking at co-operating
to build a W-CDMA network. We’re open to that discussion.
“Telecom’s on the 3G path today. You’ll see us moving further as the
market develops,” Mr Kenrick said.
