Seeking feedback on telecommunications regulatory and funding frameworks

About the consultation

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) provides advice to the Government on telecommunications policy and regulation. We are seeking feedback on a number of telecommunications regulatory issues, and in some cases, proposed options for addressing them. The feedback we receive will be used to inform our advice to the Minister for Media and Communications on what changes may be required.

What we are seeking feedback on

The discussion document seeks feedback on seven issues:

• Consumer access to dispute resolution
• Accessing shared property for fibre installations
• Telecommunications levy settings
• Identifying participants in the market
• Enhancing information flow to the Emergency Location Information System
• Governance settings in the company constitutions of Enable Networks, Tuatahi First Fibre, and Northpower Fibre.
• Other matter such as specified fibre areas and minor changes and clarifications.

We note that consumers may be particularly interested in Section 1 regarding access to dispute resolution services. In addition, consumers and property owners may be interested in Section 2, regarding the rights to access shared property for fibre installations.
