In April 2009, Australia's government announced it was not going forward with FTTN plans but will go forward with FTTH instead, with an investment of AU$43 billion. In March 2009, New Zealand's government announced it was going to invest NZ$1.5 billion and seek an additional NZ$1.5-4.5 billion from the private sector to connect 75% of the population with fiber.
