Business Advantage PNG: Papua New Guinea Telecommunications Update

The task of building Papua New Guinea’s National Transmission Network (NTN) – the country’s internet backbone – is a work-in-progress. 

• How is the NTN progressing and what expansion can we expect this year? 
• What are prospects for reduced prices and improved stability? 
• What opportunities is the NTN opening up for businesses in PNG? 
• What are the prospects for greater competition in PNG’s ICT sector? 

In this online briefing, we get the bottom of these and other questions. 

Our participants: 

• Paul Komboi, Managing Director, PNG DataCo Ltd 
• Dr Amanda Watson, Research Fellow, Department of Pacific Affairs, Australian National University. (Together with her University of PNG and Divine Word University colleagues, Dr Watson runs a rolling pricing survey on the cost of mobile data in PNG.)
