Its mobile network launched on 4 August 2009 after nine years of planning and spending more than $250 million constructing a brand new mobile network in New Zealand. 2 Degrees offers prepaid and pay-monthly mobile services as well as fixed-line phone and broadband services.

Back in the 90s a visionary group of Maori challenged the crown through the Treaty of Waitangi and won the rights to 3G spectrum. Despite financial and regulatory adversity a Maori Trust (Hautaki) was established with the challenge of launching New Zealand’s 3rd mobile network.

Since then, they’ve been busy. They have the backing of a unique partnership of international and Kiwi investors that have enabled 2 degrees to build a brand new mobile network, helping 2 Degrees to cover 97% of the places Kiwis live and work. In March 2015 they also acquired NZ’s fourth largest ISP Snap.
