Penetration rates of telecom services in the South Pacific Island region are still comparatively low, with large differences between urban and

rural areas where coverage is usually poor. Access to basic telecom services remains relatively expensive. Less than half of all Pacific Islanders have

a phone and generally there was only one supplier for any particular fixed, mobile or Internet service.
However, a lack of reliable fixed infrastructure combined with cheaper installation costs has enabled mobile services to begin to make significant

inroads into the market, and Digicel Pacific is leading the market here, as it sets up networks across a number of islands. As well improving the

penetration of telco services and lowering prices, more competition in the mobile market is in fact benefiting the entire economy, including the

creation of more jobs. Mobile telephony is expected to continue outpace growth in fixed-line connections as the market moves into 2009.

The demands of modern business and the highly competitive nature of the corporate environment dictate that any business wishing to succeed in their respective market needs to be available on an international level at all times. These demands mean that superior business communication should be a primary concern of corporations in modern day business. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace and has created an opportunity for businesses, or branches, worldwide to work together as if they were located in the same office building. Satellite communications have thus become a necessary feature in most offices as they allow communication between locations around the globe without compromising on call quality or speed.

Why satellite communications?
Satellite telecoms communication and global roaming is possible by voice and data services. An ISP is set up with a satellite communications space segment, carrier class telecoms network and internet backbone which is sent to a satellite telecoms network. Because of the use of satellites and hosted services, communication is possible from any location in the world, no matter how remote. Satellite communication technology is the key to successful business communication and the ability of a company to provide efficient service to their clients.

Satellite telecoms solutions provide a robust service that is reliable and secure. It is imperative for a successful business to avoid bad communication technology and inefficient telecoms services at all costs. When a business is attempting to run a thriving and successful corporate venture, bad communication, slow connections, lost emails, bad sound quality on calls and lost connections are problems which will propel a business into loss instead of success. Satellite communications allow a business peace of mind regarding their communication abilities as satellite technology is dependable and robust without being expensive.

Features of satellite communications for business
Global roaming solutions and satellite communication allow employees access to corporate resources, to send emails and to browse the internet whilst being able to communicate via high quality, voice compression technology, no matter where they are situated on the globe.

Call costs are lowered through calls being charged at local rates as the large broadband network makes connecting people simple and effective. Quality is not compromised because the connection is low cost – the reliable and high speed alternative to fibre networks provides seamless and reliable data carrying.

Due to the use of broadband through a satellite communications network, businesses save money in their communication costs. Fixed line technology is costly to run and even more expensive to maintain. Service fees can be staggering whilst line rental and call costs only add to the mountain of expenses. Using a broadband connection for communication allows companies to save huge amounts of money due to the simple services which accompany satellite communications.

Most satellite telecoms operators and service providers will include a free 24-hour help desk service for any problems a client may experience. Because the communication systems are so easy to set up and maintain, they rarely require a technician to be called in to fix any problems. The system is easily scalable, allowing clients to add and subtract lines as they wish without needing to pay a callout fee for a technician to add or subtract the required lines.

For any business competing in a worldwide market, location need not be a problem any longer. Thanks to the internet and satellite technology, satellite telecoms allows businesses access to high quality communication whilst cutting costs and providing a range of features to make communication even simpler. User-friendly interfaces, connection anywhere in the world, dependable and robust gateways and dedicated technical support systems are all features illustrating why satellite communications and global roaming is the future of business communications.

The impact of not having the means to use modern telecommunication facilities can be illustrated in a few examples.

First, if a business owner has two stores which are in separate locations. Without a means for instant communication – the business owner would need to travel from one store to another in order to coordinate the daily aspects of running a business.

Not only will this consume a lot of time, but it is also not cost-effective. Through modern telecommunication, an entrepreneur can just assign one individual to oversee the operations on the physical store – and check on what is happening remotely.

Second, if you will be sending money, for example, to a relative who is living in a different state. How will you know if the money that you sent has already been received if there is no means of communication?

With these two simple examples, you can clearly see the impact if there are no telecoms in the world. With the help of telecommunications in general – it is much easier for people to communicate despite being physically separated by distance.

Not only does telecommunications eliminate the need for traveling – but it also boosts the economy, gives people employment opportunities and it makes the world a virtually smaller place to live in.

A Brief Glance at the Telecoms Industry in Spain

Now that you have an idea about the importance of telecom providers in a country’s economy and the world’s development as a whole, let us check out one country in particular: Spain.

Spain is among the 30 most populous countries in the world. Next to France, it is the second largest country in the western part of Europe. With such a vast number of people to serve, what does the telecoms industry in Spain actually look like?

First, let us take a look at the Internet usage in the country. According to the Nielsen ratings, the percentage of the population which utilized the Internet in Spain, for the year 2007 is 48.4%. This is actually an increase in percentage, from 13.2% in the year 2000 and 43.9% in the year 2006.

The good thing about this increasing trend in Internet usage is that the people from Spain will have access to cheap calls and international calls.

Thanks to the easy accessibility of broadband services, subscribers now have a means to make cheap calls to any part of the world using VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol services.

The Other Telecoms Market in Spaiin

Despite the fact that the broadband market in Spain is slightly lower than the average European market – the other telecoms industry more than make up for it.

Just like the United Kingdom, Spain uses ADSL or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line networks for their broadband needs – and this is an increasing trend.

In terms of mobile telecoms, Spain does have a large and advanced market, with a growing number of mobile phone users. Telefónica, BT and MCI are three of the country’s largest mobile telecoms carrier.
