Clear's plan was to make its services available to 80% of the telephones in New Zealand, thus offering New Zealanders a choice of their toll service provider. It has developed two separate national toll services; Clear Business 050 to serve the needs of the business market and Clear 051 designed for the residential customer. Customers had been tested on the Clear network in April. At the eleventh hour, when Telecom had still not issued the interconnection permit, Clear took the bull by the horns, went public and got front page publicity. The breakthrough to full commercial operations offering Clear 05 and Clear Business 050 came on 7 May 1991.
