Telecom's wholesale customers have been told to expect naked DSL - the ability to offer a broadband service via a phone line without having to pay the company for line rental - by the end of September.
Customers such as CallPlus, Orcon, ihug, WorldxChange and its own retail arm can get the service from September 28.
Naked DSL means consumers can get rid of their phone line in favour of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) - phone calls using the internet.
Telcos CallPlus and WorldxChange already offer a phone service using VoIP technology.
This week, Orcon said it would offer a VoIP service when naked DSL became available in September.
The commercial naked DSL service comes more than two months before the Commerce Commission is expected to make a decision on regulated terms and prices for the service.
Telecom said initially it would limit the number of end-users of the service to those signing up new broadband connections.
"It ensures that we can monitor product performance levels as well as back-end support systems to ensure our offering will meet market demands," Telecom said.
Internet companies will be able to move their existing broadband customers to naked DSL from December.
Telecom said it expected to introduce enhancements to the service over the next few years which could open up opportunities for television and movies delivered over the internet.

You can never have enough Volvos!
Niel: From end September it will be available to new Telecom connections only so that Telecom can "trial" it with a limited number of connections, and existing customers can be moved/changed/ported from mid December. Not sure what they want to "trial", but that is what was reported (I think in the NZ Herald).

richms: I have no doubt that the technical side will work fine, its telecoms billing that's going to screw things up.
No more will they have a phone number and telecom account number to reference to the provisioned service, so I can see plenty of scope for stuff ups in moving people over to it. I hate to say it, but I think the new install only initially is a good move on their part so they aren't putting people in the position of losing all services when they have the inevitable teething problems that this will have for all the new processes and procedures they will have to introduce.
Looking forward to it nevertheless, will have to see if I can move an existing connection on a pstn line somewhere else to a naked line here, will be interesting to see if that's available since it will be a new install as far as telecom is concerned, but an existing one for the ISP.
