 Fiji - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
For a small island nation, Fiji has a reliable and efficient telecom system with access to the Southern Cross cable that links New Zealand, Australia and North America. The country's fast growing telecom industry is made up primarily of three major monopolies that are all currently protected through exclusivity licences. Telecom Fiji Ltd has the exclusive licence to provide domestic voice and data services; Vodafone Fiji Ltd is the sole provider of mobile services; and Fiji International Telecommunications Ltd (Fintel) has the monopoly on the supply of international voice and data services. In October 2005 Unwired Fiji launched the country's first privately-owned broadband wireless network. In June 2006, in a protracted court battle that has extended through the second half 2006, Vodafone Fiji filed an injunction in an attempt to stop the government from awarding a licence to a new mobile operator. In December 2006 a major WiMAX rollout began in Fiji with a planned launch date of early 2007.
