The country’s fourth largest telecommunications company, Vocus New Zealand, which has 192,000 broadband customers, will be put on the market by its Australian owner.
Vocus NZ owns the Slingshot, Orcon and CallPlus brands as well as network company FX, supplies electricity to about 9000 homes and businesses, and resells a mobile service to 21,000 people.
Changes of ownership are nothing new to many Vocus NZ customers.
However, there have been suggestions that this time round one of its larger rivals, Spark, Vodafone or 2degrees, could emerge as a prospective buyer, potentially reducing competition in the broadband market.
