Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/th55r8/new_zealand) has announced the addition of the "New Zealand - Digital Economy and Digital Media" report to their offering.

The digital economy across New Zealand will have the necessary infrastructure for development to ignite e-government, e-commerce and digital media across the country once the Ultra-fast broadband / Rural Broadband Initiative (UFB/RBI) is completed during the next 5-10 years.

Speeds will be more than ten times faster than current rates and will enable opportunities that were not even imaginable when the project began connecting its first customers in 2012. Businesses and customers will operate in the cloud both within the country and in the global market place. The digital economy will be driven by some of the digital media companies that continue to play an increasingly important role in the telecommunications markets.

The New Zealand government has committed to providing access to an online network for e-learning in 2013 for students and schools that will see the coming generations of students with the necessary skills for the digital world of the future.

In this report, BuddeComm provides an overview of the digital economy and digital media markets in New Zealand. We also provide a snapshot of social media usage and updates and information on the e-government, e-health and e-learning markets with analysis, statistics in text, tabular and charts formats in an easy-to-read format.

Key developments:

Social media expanding, online e-commerce gaining ground, e-education and e-learning to expand through UFB connectivity, e-government comparisons, daily-deal coupon sites.

Companies covered in this report include:

Paymark, Trade Me, TVNZ, Fairfax, Groupon and Ziln TV
