In slides accompanying a presentation to analysts, the network operator said there is a steady migration away from basic copper services to the high-speed copper and fibre connections, with voice lines declining, though still representing a quarter of the firm's connections. Chorus said it was 34 percent through the UFB roll-out, with the build completed for 286,000 premises and 386,000 end users within reach of the government-sponsored network. It also had 75,000 lines within reach of better broadband under the government's Rural Broadband Initiative. The network operator has been trying to mitigate the impact of looming regulation on its charges for access to its copper line services, still the bulk of its business, and has sought a final pricing principle (FPP) review by the Commerce Commission, which means the watchdog will have to determine an economic cost model to find the true cost of the service rather than relying on international experience as a benchmark. Mercurial Superfly IV red Chorus is holding a briefing for analysts today, which will show modelling work it's commissioned suggesting the cost of rebuilding its copper network without re-using any existing infrastructure would be about $16 billion. Two other scenarios put the value of the network at $13 billion or $8 billion. Magista Obra black "While that full valuation of the network provides a valid starting point for considering value, FPP prices determined by the commission are expected to be less given the range of matters upon which it will ultimately take a view," chief executive Mark Ratcliffe said in a statement. "We have consistently said that we believe evidence does not support aggregate copper pricing below demerger levels of around $45 a month, and that rebalancing is likely between layer 1 and layer 2 pricing, and the progression of modelling continues to support this view." The regulator is scheduled to release its draft findings on Dec. 1, with a final decision by April next year. Hypervenom Phelon IC Chorus has been battling the regulator on several fronts, losing a bid in the Court of Appeal to overturn the initial price determination, which was based on international benchmarks, in September, and by seeking to introduce new services which it says should fall outside the scope of regulation. Hypervenom Phantom FG Shares of Chorus were unchanged at $1.85 yesterday, and have gained 28 percent this year, recovering from last year's punishment at the height of regulatory uncertainty. |
