 Tuvalu - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation (TCC) is the sole provider of telecommunications services to the islands. These services are mainly satellite-based between atolls and with the rest of the world. Future development plans include the installation of a cellular system in Funafuti and the upgrade of communications on the outer-islands. Tuvalu has sold the use of its international domain name code .tv and is using the influx of money to pay for UN membership, a new school and other infrastructure works. Following the establishment of an ISP in 2001, the number of Internet subscribers more than doubled between 2002 and 2004. In late 2006, TTC was looking at setting up its own ISP, while establishing a national Internet exchange between the two ISPs so as to keep local traffic. Up-to-date statistics are currently not available in this report. Please also note that this report is updated very infrequently due to limited availability of information on the local telecoms market.
