I think there it a telecommunications bill slowly wending its way through Parliament. Read more at; http://www.med.govt.nz/templates/MultipageDocumentTOC____20265.aspx#P43_7305 Hold on, a ministerial statementdated 5th July. Communications Minister David Cunliffe has provided an update on the process for the separation of Telecom. "I am currently progressing the development of my requirements for the operational separation of Telecom as required by the Telecommunications Act, with the intention of finalising it shortly," Mr Cunliffe said. So something might happen before next years elections, or possibly not. Cheers Ross Drummond
