Telecom NZ investigated for separation breach
New Zealand’s Commerce Commission has decided to launch an investigation into an alleged breach of Telecom New Zealand’s separation undertakings by its Wholesale business unit.

The investigation followed a decision last week by the independent oversight group in charge of keeping an eye on the telco’s separation undertakings. The group upheld complaints by Vodafone and Kordia that Telecom Wholesale was breaching clauses of its parent’s separation agreement.
