Will the Commerce Commission sub-loop unbundling decision work against broadband users?

The days of improving broadband price, speed and service may be coming to an end following the release of conditions for sub-loop unbundling, the boss of telco Orcon warns.

Instead it opted for a pricing structure that inevitably would lead to market domination by a single player.
