As an ex-monopoly, and owner of most of the infra-structure, they are in a good position to make life difficult for their competitors, as the government has decided that unbundling the local loop is not a good way to encourage competition other telcos that want to offer services to customers are at the mercy of the wholesale pricing that Telecom will give them. Telecom is not known for playing nicely in these discussions.
As an example, no-one else can offer [ADSL], although you can choose competing [ISP]s. The [ZFree] page has a bit of background too. When it was privatised, the new owners had to agree to the KiwiShare agreement.
