Just noticed a new tower opposite Rebel Sport in Dunedin. Is it one belonging to 2degrees?

Got a photo? The green cabinet nearby got any words on it? Check for earth pegs around it as well, they are often labelled.

Unfortunately I couldn't stop, and the tower and green cabinet is set just up a entranceway. Don't think they would like me walking onto private land

Here is where you earn your geek badge . . . head back there sometime, stroll up, take a photo. If there are people around, talk to them and be friendly :-)

If it says NZCOMMS it will then be 2degrees

I have athletics day tomorrow, but I can check Friday; from what I remember there is already excellent coverage on vodafone and Telecom XT, so fingers crossed

.
Is it on the front of the building, the rooftop carpark or on the back?

2degrees are currently looking to build towers in Dunedin that I'm sure, whether or not that tower is theirs or not I'm not sure, but could very well be.

Cloud spending continues to surge globally, but most organisations haven’t made the changes necessary to maximise the value and cost-efficiency benefits of their cloud investments. Download the whitepaper From Overspend to Advantage now.

They are also looking at building towers in Palmy, Wanaka, Timaru, North cape, Paihere, Wanganui, Nelson, Napier... Reports in the news have said Hamilton and Tauranga first.

Hamilton and Tauranga have backhaul frequencies registered so the network build itself can't be far away if not already in progress (not seen any additional gear on the VF Nawton tower yet)

XT need a new tower down at Uni. Get pretty much no coverage in the library. Probably not 2degrees yet - I'm hoping XT are on the prowl to fix their shaky areas :).
