flag New Zealand updates telecom laws in 2025 to strengthen oversight, security, and fibre access for all providers.

flag New Zealand’s Telecommunications and Other Matters Amendment Bill, introduced in 2025, updates key telecom laws to address modern challenges from overseas providers and evolving technology. flag It mandates dispute resolution membership for large providers, strengthens fibre access rights with safeguards, and allows the telecommunications development levy to be set via Order in Council. flag The bill grants the Commerce Commission authority over three local fibre companies, subject to ministerial approval. flag Public submissions are open until 14 January 2026. flag The changes aim to ensure consistent security, consumer protections, and infrastructure growth across all providers, regardless of location.
