Papua New Guinea - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband 2017

Executive summary
With a population of more than 7 million people and mobile penetration of around 50%, PNG’s mobile market has enormous growth potential. However, this growth could be inhibited by the latent difficulties within the market, including the high cost of deploying infrastructure, the relatively low income base among potential subscribers, and the geographical dispersal of the population. As a result of these conditions PNG remains one of the least affordable mobile markets in the Pacific.

Three mobile service operators provide services including Digicel, Bmobile (Vodafone), and Citifon (Telikom PNG). In 2017 Telikom PNG began rolling out its 4G/LTE network and offers discounted devices and packages to customers to encourage take-up.

Digicel is an important player in Papua New Guinea’s market. When it entered the market in 2007 it brought mobile services to previously unserviced areas and at the same time slashed prices. The result was a substantial increase in mobile penetration – from 1.6% in 2006 to around 50% today. In 2017 Digicel is also offering 4G LTE services.
It is estimated that around 90% of all internet usage is currently conducted over Digitals’ broadband and mobile networks. It is important to bear in mind however that throughout much of the country, internet access is simply unavailable. While mobile coverage in 2017 is extensive - most rural areas still have only 2G services.

Network deployment costs are high in PNG due to the relatively low subscriber base, the impervious terrain, and the high proportion of the population living in rural areas. As a result, fixed telecom infrastructure is almost inexistent outside urban centres, leaving most of the population unserviced. With fixed teledensity having seen little change over the past two decades, progress in telecommunications has come primarily from mobile networks, where accessibility has expanded from less than 3% population coverage in 2006 to over 80% by early 2016.
To overcome the country’s communication shortcomings, the government is deploying a National Transmission Network, which is expected to boost bandwidth and encourage market competition. It is managed by the state-owned PNG DataCo, which acts as wholesaler.

Given the underdeveloped telecom services, PNG’s telecom market has enormous growth potential. Despite the challenges, the country offers many investment opportunities. An increasing number of Papuans are embracing the digital age, particularly the younger generation, and mobile phones in particular are becoming a more important source of social interaction.
