Benchmarking Broadband New Zealand s path to generating global broadband envy September 2013
New Zealand s broadband story Fast broadband availability has increased significantly We are a broadband growth leader in the OECD Users are not getting the best experience available And while we love the internet we are not using it to be more productive Lines capable of >10Mbps have increased from 27% to 90% High speed capability now covers 64% of broadband lines We will be a top ten OECD fibre leader when UFB build is completed in 2020 In 2012, we were the *highestgrowth broadband market NZ is now 16 th in the OECD for broadband penetration We have the highest level of broadband penetration for our wealth Peak and average broadband speeds lag the world Contributing factors include home wiring/ WiFi equipment, devices, backhaul provisioning, content servers Many users are not on the best broadband available 7 th in the world for internet usage, 17 th for economic utilisation Fibre opportunity is for $33 billion in economic gains over 20 years *OECD broadband connections per 100 population P3

Why broadband is vital NZ needs a new, sustainable roadmap for growth We face growing social challenges Technology can transform our future Chorus believes NZ can create global broadband envy Exports are just 30% of the wealth we create mostly from unprocessed commodities We work harder and earn less than most developed markets Our GDP is growing more slowly Ageing population Demand for skilled workforce Digital divide Urban/regional/rural divide Connecting the world to NZ Enabling innovation across communities Upskilling our workforce Empowering small business Our fibre to the home to 75% of New Zealand is bold Our broadband coverage and capability is high by international standards We need to measure our progress P15
