The telecommunications industry in our region of Micronesia is always in a state of change, from products to strengthening of infrastructure to availability.
Concerns impact the industry for its consumers conducting day-to-day business, particularly in a region beset by typhoons and storms, as witnessed after Typhoon Mawar in May and Typhoon Bolaven in October.
In the Mariana Islands, our telecom players are reviewing local government plans in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands for the huge amounts of government grants for developing infrastructure and access. Industry businesses will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on plans.
We expect to continue to cover the industry’s progress as the U.S. The Broadband Equity and Access Deployment program and the U.S. Digital Equity Act deadlines come into effect.
The Journal has also brought you news of how geopolitical events impact us a regional level.
We have written about radar installations in Palau since 2017. The latest “over the horizon radar being installed in that country to provide enhanced air domain awareness, is just one example of how the U.S. military is funding assets in the islands.
Small businesses are stepping forward to open throughout the islands, despite a less than favorable tourism climate.
In the Marshall Islands, companies are taking advantage of an insatiable demand for tuna in one of the largest retailers in the U.S. mainland.
And farming is seeing not only an influx of funding to support development, but a change in attitude to the industry from potential farmers.
Food security and resilience was heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic as supply chain issues came to the fore throughout the islands.
While our suppliers, our retailers and the transportation industry have worked their hardest to ensure the influx of goods we need, home grown produce and its distribution are seeing development.
The winds of change are blowing through the islands. mbj
