I get questions like this from time to time. Requests for historical information I refer to http://www.waikato.ac.nz/cache/www5/ and http://www.auckland.ac.nz/net/Accounting/nze.html . As to the current state of New Zealand's IP backbone I tell people there isn't one, though a number of corporates, including ISP's, operate their own medium- and long-distance links using point-to-point services provided by telcos.
If anyone has an improvement on that answer, I'd be keen to hear about it.
