Commission announces draft decisions on price-quality regulation for Chorus and information disclosure requirements for fibre
The Commerce Commission has released for consultation its draft view on the maximum revenues Chorus should be able to earn from its fibre network over the first three years of the new regulatory regime that takes effect from 1 January next year and the minimum quality standards Chorus should meet.
Telecommunications Commissioner Tristan Gilbertson said the Commission’s role is to deliver the best long-term outcomes for New Zealand consumers.
“Our aim is to achieve a smooth transition into the new regime, by retaining the features that have made UFB such a success, while also putting in place the core components of building blocks regulation, which create incentives for Chorus to act in the best interests of consumers and promote competition in telecommunications markets,” he said.
