Northland MP John Carter
has welcomed Telecom’s decision to change its connection
fees.
“Pressure from National and other parties has made
a real difference. I’m pleased that Telecom have been
open-minded and have listened to the concerns raised by
rural communities
“Under the original plan a lot of
households simply wouldn’t have been able to afford a phone,
even for some areas close to major towns.
“The new
pricing plan is a good compromise that is fair to rural
people and Telecom,” said Mr Carter.
