OPINION: We may now be into the third decade of the 21^st century, but unfortunately much of NZ’s rural broadband and mobile coverage remains at third world levels.

Rural people should be getting the same level of connectivity in terms of broadband and mobile coverage as the people who live in urban areas.

The Telecommunication Users Association of New Zealand (TUANZ) rural connectivity symposium will be held on April 28 at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

Companies which have high internet usage are currently 4 years ahead, 6% more productive and generate 20% more revenue compared with an average firm.

'Bold' new broadband rural connectivity targets have been welcomed by the Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa NZ (RHANZ) and the Telecommunication Users Association of NZ (TUANZ).
