Big staff reductions have prompted Telecom to leave one of its four buildings at its headquarters on Victoria St, Auckland.

Telecom is hoping to drive customers on to faster broadband services with a deal to offer discounted online access to the English Premier League football.

A new law which could see internet giants like Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and Google forced to open up their systems to NZ's spy agencies is 'unworkable'.
