30 OCTOBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3619

Telecom’s Standard SKYSTREAM Service provides a half-circuit designed for full duplex operation.

Note:
A half-circuit means a leased circuit which is established between the customer’s service delivery point or points within New Zealand and a point of electrical interface with transmission facilities under the jurisdiction of an overseas telecommunications organisation.

There are 5 International Service Access Points which are located within the Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch “City Step” tariff zones for Telecom’s Digital Data Service (DDS). Provided the customer’s Service Delivery Point lies within any one of the above tariff zones, the monthly lease charges listed here include the price of a single local access circuit from the customer’s Service Delivery Point to the nearest International Service Access Point. Customers who require more than one local access circuit or who require service to be delivered to points outside of the five “City Step” tariff zones will be charged standard DDS charges for the additional access circuits and extensions.
