🇳🇿 In New Zealand, Streaming Pushes Out Satellite TV Amid the 5G Boom
New Zealand’s telecom services market is projected to grow to $3.4 billion by 2029, but the structure of content consumption is changing dramatically.
According to a GlobalData report, traditional pay TV is losing ground under pressure from OTT services.
Revenues from satellite TV will continue to decline, as viewers increasingly abandon satellite dishes in favor of streaming platforms.
Operators such as One New Zealand and Spark are actively investing in 5G infrastructure. In 2025 alone, hundreds of base stations were upgraded, making high-quality mobile streaming widely available.
The expansion of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks into remote regions is окончательно shifting TV consumption to the internet.
For the market, the conclusion is clear: leadership will belong to operators that can offer the best high-speed internet packages and convenient access to streaming services, leaving linear broadcasting behind.
