Siemens does ADSL2+
This article from New Zealand caught my eye last night. While my direct experience with Siemens DSL dates about 5-6 years, they were successfully deploying profitable DSL with small rural telco partners in the US early on. They made those small telcos cost recoverable and profitable well ahead of the major telco players. Look for Siemens to do well here.
Siemens and Orcon get together for a $30 million ADSL2+ network
Although Telecom New Zealand and its supporters insist that the new regulation introduced by Cunliffe will lead to no investment by competitors who instead will only "leech" off the existing infrastructure, the reality is shaping up quite differently.
Orcon today officially announced what has been an open secret for a long time: Siemens will chip in with some $30 million to build a wholesale ADSL2+ network for Orcon. While it's still early days and the commencement date for the network is pending on regulatory outcomes and Telecom playing ball, it's encouraging to see that the climate has changed, and that there is a will to invest in telecommunications infrastructure in New Zealand.
