INTERNATIONAL LEASED CIRCUIT SERVICES

This section gives the charges for all Telecom leased-circuit services available from New Zealand and Scott Base to other countries.
All international leased-circuit services are subject to the standard terms and conditions for the International Leased Service. Special terms and conditions also apply to Analogue Voice/Data Circuit service, SKYSTREAM Service, TASTREAM Service and Antarctic Skystream service. These special terms and conditions are available from the local Telecom ROC office.
These charges include only those that are payable to Telecom for the New Zealand or Antarctic portion of the circuit. They do not include any charges payable to non-New Zealand telecommunications carriers for the overseas part of the circuit.

Auckland is the New Zealand point of entry for analogue leased circuits. Extension from Auckland to the customer's first service distribution point is free of charge.

Connection from this location to any additional customer service-delivery points (that is, for multipoint operation) within New Zealand will be charged at the standard national analogue leased-circuit rental (see section 5.4).

The analogue service provided by Telecom is a full-duplex, 4-wire half circuit, operating to CCITT Rec. M1020 or CCITT Rec. M1040.
