Several of New Zealand’s key innovators have launched a $900 million bid to build an international fibre cable across the Pacific that aims to give virtually unlimited high speed broadband for New Zealand and Australia. Pacific Fibre includes Warehouse founder Stephen Tindall, TradeMe creator Sam Morgan and software entrepreneur Rod Drury, who said they aim to break the digital divide between New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. It puts them head-to-head with the bigger Southern Cross Cable network part-owned by Telecom New Zealand. They say they have broad quotes for $900 million but believe they can get it cheaper…
You have been a busy boy, Mr Drury… any insider insight for you fellow fruitbowlers?!?
