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.
