The New Zealand Government has announced two new grant programmes for improving rural connectivity - $100 million to extend the Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI2) and $50 million to cover mobile network black spots (Mobile Black Spots or MBS) to improve safety on state highways and to enhance tourist experiences.
The Government has appointed Crown Fibre Holdings Limited (CFH) to manage the Government's investment in RBI2 and MBS. Accordingly, CFH is running this Expansion of Broadband Coverage - Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI2) and Mobile Black Spots (MBS) RFP to seek proposals from Respondents to partner with the Government (through CFH) in RBI2 and/or MBS.
CFH was originally established in 2009 to manage the Government's $1.345 billion investment in Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB). Further information about CFH can be found at www.crownfibre.govt.nz
