BusinessNZ supports the Infrastructure Commission’s endorsement for extending fibre broadband to more areas of New Zealand.
A proposal by Chorus to gain government backing for expanding fibre broadband from 87% to 95% of households and businesses has been endorsed by the Infrastructure Commission as a national priority.
BusinessNZ Advocacy Director Catherine Beard says Chorus’ proposal would bring a significant boost to business and rural connectivity, bringing economic benefit to more parts of country.
“More urban and rural businesses would be able to take part in the digital economy with modern connectivity that is scalable for business needs.
“BusinessNZ agrees with the Infrastructure Commission’s assessment of the proposal as a national priority.”
