Subject: Official Information request - Cheap as data

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

This is an OIA request regarding the "cheap as data" where mobile access to certain MSD sites are zero-rated when clients access them on certain telecommunications providers.

Can you let me know:

1.What type of financial arrangement does MSD have with the telecommunications providers to provide this service?
2.Please provide the annual costs of "cheap as data" to MSD per financial year from 2016 to now. Please break down the costs for each telecommunications provider.

I am a NZ citizen eligible to make OIA requests.

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,
Felix Lee
