CityLinkCityLink was formed in 1995 following a Wellington City Council sponsored initiative to deploy an advanced, low cost telecommunications network and give local business and government enterprises a competitive advantage. Over the next decade, CityLink expanded the Wellington network and rolled out a second network in Auckland. The company also deployed a country-wide network of local Peering Exchanges and a Content Distribution Network – hugely improving the entire country’s Internet experience. CityLink is also a pioneer and market leader in public access Wi-Fi networks. CityLink, now part of the TeamTalk Group, continues to maintain the principles on which it was founded: valuing innovation and workmanship; building high performance, open access, cost effective networks; and maintaining close, high value, working relationships with customers and partners.

telecomlogo“Telecom is New Zealand’s largest telecommunications and IT service provider. It was formed in 1987 out of the telecommunications division of the New Zealand Post Office, a government department. In 1990 Telecom became one of the first telcos in the world to be fully privatised. On 30 November 2011, Telecom demerged into two entirely separate, publicly listed companies; a retail services provider (Telecom) and a network services operator (Chorus). Structural separation of Telecom’s retail business from the business that owns and operates the Fibre-To-The-Premise (FTTP) network was a pre-requisite for participation in the Government’s Ultra-Fast Broadband scheme (UFB).”
