On 3 September 2009, the Minister for Communications and Information Technology called for public submission on Telecom's proposed variation of the company's Operational Separation Undertakings.
The proposed variation relates to the requirement on Telecom to implement logical separation of shared information systems containing customer confidential information by 31 December 2009. Telecom established that it is not able to support the level of IT system business process change, system change solutions and integration testing required to concurrently deliver six major Undertakings milestones by 31 December 2009.
Comment was also sought on a draft Peer Review report on Telecom’s proposed variation.
The Operational Separation Undertakings, which had the effect of splitting Telecom into three separate business units, came into effect on 31 March 2008. The need for a process to allow variation of the Undertakings was envisaged at the time they were developed.
The government received six submissions on the proposal (which can be viewed in PDF format from the table below).
On 19 November 2009, the Minister agreed to varied undertakings.
Please note that all or parts of any submission may be withheld under the Official Information Act 1982 where submitters have indicated that information is confidential or commercially sensitive and the Ministry determines that there are grounds to withhold that information under the Act.
