Dear Auckland Council,

In 2007 Auckland issued a tender for a city-wide wifi network. This tender was won by Kordia, and the network operates to this day.

1. What did the Council contribute to the existing network build as a one-off capital contribution?

2. What, if any, subsidies does the council contribute to the existing network on an ongoing basis - i.e. OpEx?

3. Does the Council pay Kordia for the use of any infrastructure - such as a dedicated SSID on the network, or connections for CCTV or SCADA purposes?

3a. If so, what are the details of these arrangements?

4. Does the existing network meet the requirements of the Council as set out in the 2007 tender process?

5. Is the council satisfied with the visual aspects of the public space equipment installed after the 2007 process?

6. What are the existing network performance characteristics, and how have these changed over time since the initial installation?

7. Is the Council satisfied with backhaul arrangements for the existing network?

8. What Council infrastructure (i.e. pits, poles, buildings) has been utilized in the existing network, and what are the financial arrangements around this use?

Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Brewer
