LONDON – In the recent past, the South Pacific region has seen a significant progress in its telecommunications services sector. Concerns pertaining to climatic variations have sparked global interest in the region as it is in the frontline for rising water levels and natural catastrophes. Telecommunications and digital technologies are being utilised for climate change monitoring as this huge issue has grave repercussions for the entire world community.

Consequently, a slew of grants, international financing, and private investments have been directed to enhancing conditions, such as telecommunications infrastructure. International submarine cable systems are being deployed in certain circumstances and satellite services are being upgraded as well. One of the significant milestones reached is the agreement that Kacific has concluded with several Pacific Islands which will witness extensive improvements in satellite broadband speed and access.

The surging broadband penetration by close to 10% holds the potential to pump up GDP by as much as 1.4% in low- and middle-income countries of the Pacific Islands and Oceania.
