Developments in the South Pacific region include Telstra s $2 billion bid for Digicel in an effort to block China from acquiring the mobile network assets, writes Paul Budde.
LAST WEEK, we published the first part of the overview of broadband developments in the South Pacific, where we covered the three largest countries - Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Fiji.
Australia has a special relationship with our South Pacific neighbours and we have a responsibility to collaborate with them and assist them, especially also in the fields of information technology and telecommunications. Therefore, I would like to share this information with you that BuddeComm has prepared for this region.
