BA5 - TrustPower


Tonight is the first Business After 5 of 2008. Organised by Tauranga Chamber of Commerce, it is being hosted by TrustPower.

TrustPower are introducing their new telco subsidiary, Kinect. They plan to outline the development of the business over the past 12 months, paint a picture of what is coming in the months ahead and seek to find out more about what local businesses do and look for synergy's or opportunities. So far so good.

I have one question. It is all about fibre. If Kinect's delivery is the usual combination of copper and a simple 'power and phone' billing exercise, then there is not a lot of value-add to the present market. If Kinect plans to develop or work towards developing a fibre optic network in the Bay however, then I for one, am all ears.
