I didn't read the whole release and as I live in Oz now I don't care too much, but it is still good news.
In Oz they have local loop unbundling too. Though no naked DSL so I still have to pay Telstra for a line rental. Though that is less than $18 a month. I get my broardband from a company called Internode. Originally they didn't have a DSLAM at my location but now they do so I'm in line for transition from a Telstra DSLAM (limited to 1.5Mbit) to their own ADSL2 24Mbit DSLAM. I get 40GB of traffic a month for around $80. Rate limited to 7k/sec after 40GB. I imagine NZ will have similar plans within a fairly short period.
Funny that... Terressa Guttung was able to give a convincing reason as to why one *should* unbundle the local loop as well as why one *should not* unbundle the local loop. Personally, I think what Jonny Martin presented at NZNOG sums it up... http://resources.nznog.org/Thursday-230306/LocalLoopUnbundlingPanel/NZNOG06-...
