Who is building the new Ultra Fast Broadband network for Christchurch?

Not Telecom (well Chorus). The get much of much of the country, but they don't get Christchurch!

Enable Networks get Christchurch and Rangiora and outlying settlements. Enable are owned by the Christchurch City Council (ie publicly owned) and they've been building a dark fibre network in Christchurch for a while now.

Herald story covering all areas
More and More - media releases on Voxy about Christchurch + Enable.

I'll be watching the Telecom/Chorus split with some interest - assuming the shareholder vote is just a formality will Chorus (to become C2) be a listed company, adding a fraction of desperately needed depth to our stock market?
