They are endangered here. I know ISDN in Invercargill is on notice, I've got one site on PRI who will have to replace their phone system by early next year.
Rhema Media used to use them on their roadshows but they were expensive to set up. Everything is over IP now - using broadcast quality equipment/codecs.
I am not sure if they have started yet, but they were configuring a studio in Oamaru at the home of the drive announcer on their primary network (Rhema), who moved there and is quite tech-savvy, as a pilot for doing more work out of Auckland - almost a throwback to their distributed network from the 80s and early 90s, but without local breakout or cripplingly high Telecom leased line bills.
