TAF adds the deregulation of the sector, the issuance of new licenses, and the increasing demand for data services have highlighted the need for a structured market analysis.
“This study aims to inform policy decisions and strategic initiatives to enhance the sector’s growth and competitiveness,” states TAF.
“Current trends such as increased demand for data services, the rise of mobile payments, and the introduction of new Apps and services has changed consumer behavior that has affected the sector.”
TAF states the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on telecommunications, especially influencing businesses on adaptation of remote work and digital services has increased demand for fast and reliable broadband services.
“Given the recent significant changes in Fiji’s telecommunications landscape, the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji (TAF) aims to conduct a comprehensive market assessment of the sector.”
“This assessment will provide strategic recommendations to foster a balanced and competitive market environment while identifying opportunities for the introduction of new services, operators, and providers.’
TAF will recruit a consultant to carry out this assessment. Fiji Times
