I recently had the dubious pleasure of attending a Fibre to the Home Installation workshop hosted in Auckland by Crown Fibre. I say dubious, because as DTS does not really provide mass market connectivity, the value of a session on home installs might seem a little suspect. However, with a home environment not that much …
BYOD Can’t Be Compulsory
A global survey of CIOs by Gartner predicts that by 2017, half of employers will require employees to supply their own device for work purposes. I just don’t see how it can ever be anything other than opt in. Firstly, why should staff pay for a device they wouldn’t otherwise need if their employer wasn’t …
Case Study: Trans-Tasman WAN
DTS holds a niche space in the Australasian ICT market. We specialise in working with clients that have multiple office locations in both Australia and New Zealand, but simply saying that doesn’t necessarily allow our present and future clients to understand in detail what it is that we do on a daily basis. Instead, I …
Australian Coalition NBN Plan – Why No Focus On Upload Speeds?
With the unveiling of the Australian coalition’s counter NBN strategy announced last week, it was disheartening to see so little detail on such an important topic: upload speeds. Upload speeds are becoming ever more important as video conferencing, IP telephony and cloud based applications are embraced at an exponentially greater rate and working from home …
Trend: Data Earnings Not A Catalyst For Growth
We have just wrapped up the ’12/’13 financial year and combined with data from last financial year, a glaring trend has emerged; revenue generated from data sales is forming an ever smaller percentage of overall earnings. When I first started with DTS 6+ years ago, data was a core earner, one which we based a …

Making Sense Of The (Possible) Orcon Sale
I don’t make a habit of commenting on the sale of competing ISP’s, but I am approaching this post from the angle that Kordia is a state owned asset and therefore open to public commentary. As a further disclaimer, DTS competes with Orcon and Kordia in the retail space, while also working with Kordia in …
4G – Emerging Redundancy Option
A reality of life is that if your business has an internet connection, it will go down at some stage. More often than not, that outage will be due to a fault with the circuit rather than the ISP’s network, so what can you do to provide some level of back up to your primary …
Tasman Global Access Launched – Positives/Negatives
With the announcing of a non-binding MOU between Telecom, Telstra and Vodafone to build a new trans-Tasman cable, I have noted a few points that immediately come to mind, both good and bad. Positives: Content providers such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Akamai, etc all peer out of Sydney, so providing cheap point to point connectivity …
DTSanz.com
DTS started as an ISP operating in Wellington in 2001, then grew to service other major NZ cities, then spread coverage nationwide….then grew into Sydney, then throughout Australia. Throughout our history, we have always worked as one company, all employees on both sides of the Tasman have worked together for the one brand, but we …
