Is the New Zealand Telco Market About to Actually Get Competetive?

It has been noted in the local media (see the NZ Herald and Stuff stories) that TrustPower is gearing up to be an all-in-one service provider, after it's acquisition of the call centre company Pulse Business Solutions and the Oamaru-based telco CallSouth.

It looks like the relatively uncompetitive telco market could be in for a shake up with Trust Power's community relations manager Graeme Purches confirming the intention to move into the full-service telco space. This is good news for consumers and businesses alike as the New Zealand telco market could certainly do with the extra competition.
