Briefs: New Zealand Telecom boosts Xmas coverage

New Zealand's Telecom said it will pump $1.7 million worth of extra mobile coverage for the holiday season in remoter areas popular with tourists.

"We have great coverage in most holiday spots thanks to our year-round coverage expansion programme, but we like to make sure as many holiday-makers as possible have access to our T3G services," Telecom Mobile General Manager Kevin Kenrick said in a news release.

The company said the extra mobile sites and increased capacity will cover the Christmas and New Year period and will be removed in late January to early February.
