The telecommunications industry said it was looking forward to contributing to the review over the coming months, to ensure the service continued to provide a free independent service for residential and small business telco users. "We believe there is always room for improvement, and we hope this review process results in a strengthened TDR scheme that is able to help even more New Zealanders if they encounter issues with their telecommunications services," Telecommunications Forum chief exeuctive Geoff Thorn said.
