NZ Cellular Update

Considering that in North America, two carriers can share the 850 MHz band in a given market and have sufficient spectrum (topped up with a little in urban areas at 1900 MHz), it seems crazy that that wouldn't be possible in New Zealand.

Still, good news for New Zealanders, and for foreigners who will visit there.

It depends on what Spectrum management rights each teleco owns .
Plus we also have many other services in 900 mhz band
