Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Communications, Manoa Kamikamica has stated that the government remains focused on connecting the unconnected and building a more secure, inclusive digital future for all Fijians.
Kamikamica highlighted this at the opening of the 2nd Pacific ICT Ministerial Dialogue, held at the Pacific Island Forum Secretariat where he announced the roll-out of Starlink satellite internet services, aimed at delivering fast and reliable connectivity to rural and maritime communities across Fiji.
He also confirmed that Fiji is preparing for the commercial launch of 5G technology, which will boost mobile network speeds nationwide.
