New Zealand’s dominant telecoms operators have united to put pressure on communications minister Amy Adams, with calls for Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH) – the company charged with overseeing the government's NZD1.3 billion (USD1.09 billion) investment in the Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) initiative – to be ‘sidelined or scrapped’, Stuff.co.nz reports. The website reports that David Stone, chief executive of the Telecommunications Carriers Forum (TCF), wrote to Adams on behalf of Telecom New Zealand, Vodafone New Zealand, CallPlus, 2degrees, Chorus, WEL Networks, Northpower and several smaller telcos, implying that CFH is actively delaying deals that need to be struck before UFB services can be offered to customers. A copy of the letter, which was leaked to The Dominion Post, quotes Stone as saying: ‘With a few minor exceptions, Crown Fibre's interventions have not been helpful and have delayed commercial arrangement’
