TUANZ MEDIA RELEASE
TUANZ supports a review of the mobile telecommunications market.
TUANZ welcomes the recent letter sent from the Minister for Communications to the Telecommunications Commissioner in
which he expresses his interest in the Commission undertaking a review of the mobile telecommunications market.
“We have previously stated in our Telco Act Review submissions our desire to see an independant review of the mobile
market in New Zealand in our Telco Act review submissions so are supportive of this move” said Craig Young, CEO of
TUANZ. “We have also written to the Telecommunications Commissioner reiterating this point.”
In the letter, TUANZ asks the Commission to undertake a wide ranging review to ensure that the market is delivering the
best outcome for end users.
“We also recognise that the market continues to develop with a number of positive steps occurring and expect a review to
point these out as well. Our aim is to have a holistic picture of how the market is operating and whether there are any
changes needed to ensure continued innovation and positive competitive outcomes for users.
