Telecom invests $400m in ADSL2+
But not in New Zealand.
Instead, Telecom's spending the money in Australia, to buy Powertel.
Powertel is a "wholesale telco" that amongst other things provides ADSL2+. Telecom's keen to get that technology to supply customers in Australia with it, through it's subsidiary AAPT.
Wonder when we'll see ADSL2+ in New Zealand then? Theresa Gattung promised it'd be here by June last year, but apart from a few trial sites, there's no sign of it.
