and as a corollary Transport networks between LFC regions and also "up to the market" to decide.
-
Transport between LFC regions is not among the services an LFC provides.
No it isn't and IMHO this is an oversight. It means less diversity in services offered due to a market inflated cost of transport links. POP equipment (CDN kit etc) is expensive (not just up front, but to support/maintain) - there are very few providers in NZ who could justify/afford to deploy CDN/Service delivery kit into each POI - which means they won't. Neither should they have to given this stuff is capable of serving markets the size of NZ from one or two deployments; if it were so cheap and efficient to transport services up and down the country into each LFC we are likely to see: a) Diversity in services b) More competition c) More consumer choice d) more innovation It seems ridiculous to me that transport networks were left out of the equation. Of course just my opinion. -JoelW
