On 30 October the Commerce Commission approved the takeover bid, and on 31 October the sale was completed. Vodafone plans to keep TelstraClear running as a side entity for at least six months then merge together more. No date has been set for the closedown of the TelstraClear brand.

For a twelvemonth and a day;”
