Spark Newzeland Limited
As New Zealand's largest telecommunications and digital services company, Spark New Zealand has a strong purpose: To help all New Zealanders win big in the digital world.
On 31 March 1987, New Zealand Post was replaced by three state-owned enterprises, one of which was Telecommunications. That year, Telecom opened New Zealand's first mobile phone network.Two years later, New Zealand had its first internet connection, the telecommunications market was deregulated and in 1990 Telecom was sold for NZ$4.2 billion in what was then New Zealand's biggest deal. Soon after, it was listed on the New Zealand, Australian and New York Stock Exchanges. In the 90s calling cards, 0800 and 0900 prefixes, voicemail and remote banking were introduced, PBX calls became much cheaper and Telecom launched its first ISP, Xtra.
They believe that digital technology can make a significant, positive impact on the social and economic life of the nation. Technology can enable stronger, safer connected communities – even in the most remote rural areas. It can open up more opportunities for children, regardless of their socioeconomic background. It can improve health outcomes for New Zealanders of all ages and walks of life. And it could enable Kiwi companies to compete - and win - on the world stage and become smarter, more agile businesses by harnessing all the benefits of new technology.
