$929m fibre rollout

The engagement culminated in Telecom’s ‘last mile’ subsidiary Chorus being awarded contracts to build out 70% of the Government’s fibre programme subject to the demerger of Chorus from Telecom. The demerger was completed in November 2011
- This transaction was awarded M&A Transaction of the Year at the INFINZ industry awards held in 2013
