The monopoly telco in New Zealand.
Telecom owns almost all of the copper that services homes in New Zealand (the local loop), 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.
