Research and Markets: A Collection of Analyses on the New Zealand Mobile Communications Market - Understand the Current Environment & Future Industry Outlook

DUBLIN, Ireland-(Business Wire)-October 4, 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a46c7b/new_zealand_mobi) has announced the addition of the "New Zealand - Mobile Communications - Analyses" report to their offering.

The reality of the mobile market in New Zealand is that it remains a duopoly, and it is in the interest of both players to keep the market as it is, for as long as possible. That has been very much the story of 2007 and it will remain the story for 2008. The real battles were fought a year prior, and Vodafone emerged as the winner. They could easily have pushed through and taken over the total mobile market. However, that would have most certainly resulted in very strong regulatory action, so they kept the status quo going now for its second year. From now on, any new mobile regularity initiative will need to look at 4G, and the opportunities with WiMAX, if it ever emerges as a viable technology. By 2012, 4G will start to emerge and serious changes to the mobile market in New Zealand might have to wait until that time. The best the regulator can do at the moment is to force prices down. This report contains a collection of analyses on the mobile market in New Zealand.
