All communications to/from Spark and 2degrees in regards to Sky - Vodafone merger
David made this Official Information request to Commerce Commission
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Commerce Commission should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: David
Dear Commerce Commission, We look forward to seeing what was conveyed to your department from competitor Telco's in regards to the merger between Sky TV and Vodafone.
The regulatory process is of course here to stay, however the people of New Zealand want to know how this process is carried out and how severely outside factors can influence the integrity of your department.
Yours faithfully, Corruption Watch Initiative

Commerce Commission
Thank you the information you have provided. We use reports like yours to identify and take action on the things which are causing the most harm to New Zealand consumers. We appreciate you taking the time to make this report to us.
REPORTING A BUSINESS OR PERSON
If you have contacted us to report a business or person that you believe has breached consumer and/or competition law, your report will be assessed according to the Commission’s enforcement criteria<http://www.comcom.govt.nz/the-commission...>.
Following an assessment the Commission will decide whether to take further action. We are not a complaint handling body and we do not investigate every report made to us. We must prioritise what we investigate to ensure we are using our resources efficiently.
The information you provided will remain in our database and may be referred to for future assessments of similar conduct. We will also use your report to support analysis of consumer harm as part of our annual Consumer Issues report. You can find our annual Consumer Issues report<http://www.comcom.govt.nz/the-commission...> on our website.
Please note that we will only contact you again if we need more information.
REPORTING A DISPUTE WITH A BUSINESS
If you have contacted us to report a dispute that you are having with a business, please be aware that the Commission is not a dispute resolution service. There are a number of other organisations that may be able to assist you in resolving your individual dispute. Please refer to the “Who else can help<http://www.comcom.govt.nz/the-commission...>” page on our website. If you wish to resolve your dispute with a business you should take your own legal advice as to what your options are. You should not wait for the Commission’s actions (if any) to be completed.
