New Zealand, Auckland – Monday 3 July, 2006 - CallPlus, New Zealand’s largest 100% kiwi owned full service telecommunications company, has won spectrum covering the Auckland area including Manukau, Auckland City, North Shore, Waitakere and Rodney. This gives CallPlus access to 3.5GHz spectrum from Auckland to the top of the North Island.

We are extremely pleased with the
results of our WiMax trial in Kiakohe, Whangarei and Gulf

voice and broadband services based on the WiMax wireless
technology, however we are keeping details ‘under wraps’ for
