The nation of Kiribati is at a crossroads: improved and affordable connectivity is a necessity rather than an option for its future economic and human development growth prospects, given that the level of geographic isolation and population dispersion is even more pronounced than other Pacific Island Nations surveyed by UNCTAD. Cognizant of this, the government has sped up the development response through enhanced mainstreaming of ICT and e-commerce in development plans, implementing a robust telecommunications sector reform, and reaching out to investors and development partners. Among other achievements, this resulted in increased voice/Internet (3G/4G) coverage, faster (?) Internet speeds, value-added services, and increased awareness of the power of the Internet in breaking isolation from markets.
