> Taking a page from the Australian broadband playbook, New Zealand  
> has decided not to sit around while incumbent DSL operators milk the  
> withered dugs of their cash cow until it keels over from old age.  
> Instead, the Kiwis have established a government-owned corporation  
> to invest NZ$1.5 billion for open-access fiber to the home. By 2020,  
> 75 percent of residents should have, at a bare minimum, 100Mbps down/ 
> 50 Mbps up with a choice of providers.
