1) If the status of an address shows "Plans are still being developed for your address", does this all but mean there is little or no chance of UFB being deployed at these locations for the next 2-3 years?
2) A customer of mine was called by an RSP saying that their complex (Commercial) had been approved so that they could use the existing fibre (I presume dark fibre or something legacy) to run UFB over or to run Fibre at UFB prices, is it reasonable to assume all RSP's would have access to it? Thus reducing the leadtime
for installation ?

Cheers

Planning Dates

In a project as big as UFB, across 27 towns/cities it is impossible to plan for work in any particular street further out than 24 months with any degree of certainty.

It is a nine year programme - so someone will be in year 1 (lucky them) and someone will have to be in year 9.  With the priority in years 1-4 being hospitals, schools and business precincts, most of the residential areas are being built in years 4 - 9.

So if you get a result of "UFB deployment dates for your area are still being developed ", it means that you will not be getting UFB prior to June 2016.

UFB services over existing fibre

Not every building in the CBD falls into this category as we do not have legacy fibre in every building. 

All ISPs have been informed of this opportunity to delivery service over legacy fibre in Auckland and Wellington CBD (where it exists) ahead of the scheduled UFB build.
