The price of broadband and Chorus shares could be on the move today as the Commerce Commission releases an updated draft decision on wholesale line charges for the company's copper network.
But the question remains: which way?
The commission's ruling has been wrapped in controversy since last year with the "Copper Tax" campaign saying broadband users were paying extra to boost dividends for Chorus shareholders.
There were widespread concerns that an earlier draft determination in December that raised wholesale prices aimed to increase the price of broadband via copper as a way to boost the appeal of ultra-fast broadband.
The current proposal sets Chorus line charges about 80 per cent higher than the equivalent charges in comparable countries - up to $180 more a year for each connection.
