Connecting the unconnected
True in 2011:“Fixed or wireless computer broadband Internet connections are expensive, not widely accessible, require hardware (a computer, a modem etc.) and are not as convenient as mobile connections, especially for Pacific Islanders living outside of urban centres.”
Danielle Cave, “Digital Islands,” Lowry Institute, 2012
Fast forward to 2015:• Fixed broadband still expensive, despite cable deployments• Low cost PCs and tablets readily available• Data over mobile remains expensive and limited in quality and speed• Mobile devices more suited for consumption than production
Mobile phones are not the answer
There are real limits to how much kids can learn, governments can deliver, and businesses can achieve using a basic mobile phone on a GPRS connection.
(and even that’s not cheap in the Islands).

“Without broadband, it is clear that we will never meet our development goals on time. Broadband is a key element for progress in all countries and has already become a critical national infrastructure, like transport and other public utility networks.”
Addressing an urgent need
Kacific has designed its service to meet this urgent need to affordably connect all islands and is working on providing interim connectivity for the most pressing cases.

“Broadband is a catalyst for advancing sustainable development. Satellites play a crucial part in providing broadband access to vulnerable areas so that the regional vision of ICTs for all can become an achievable target.”
