Cook Islands - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics Consisting of 15 islands spread over 2.2 million sq km, the Cook Islands suffers from the same enormous problems of distance and small population as do many other Pacific countries. All telecommunications services are provided by the monopoly operator, Telecom Cook Islands Ltd (TCI), which is majority owned by Telecom New Zealand. Around 85% of households have fixed-line connections. A new GSM/GPRS digital mobile service launched in Rarotonga, the main island, at the end of 2003. TCI launched a prepaid WiFi Internet service in September 2005 and a residential ADSL service on Rarotonga in April 2006. Up-to-date fixed-line statistics are currently not available in this report.
