Thanks Chris, I had missed that bit originally. That said, I think it
is odd the focus of the article is on the voice aspect. It seems to
me that the 'big news' here should be Telecom NZ plans 100% broadband
deployment. I guess I was really agreeing with Lauren's post that
this will not be a 100% transition within the timeframe suggested but
will instead be a longer term process and that they will have the
line gateway functionality in place for quite a while. I think it's
also worth noting that this seems to be VERY early in the planning
process if the first customers will go into service in 2 years.
Concerns about a 'forced migration' in 2012 are a bit premature, I
would think.
Best regards,
David

If by original poster you actually mean NZ reporter, then perhaps.
To quote from the article:
Upgrade for every Telecom phone
<http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/print/0,1478,3394689a11,00.html>
31 August 2005
By ADRIAN BATHGATE
Every home with a Telecom phone will need a new phone or adaptor in
the next
seven years because of an upgrade, but Telecom says it does not know
the cost
or who will pay.
Between 2007 and 2012, Telecom will shift 1.7 million phones from
the 1980s
switched-circuit system to an Internet protocol-based network
