Digicel Fiji to connect remote Lau Group islands under USO contract
Digicel Fiji has signed a universal service obligation (USO) contract with the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji to extend mobile and digital services to remote islands in the Lau group. The agreement focuses on communities that currently have little or no connectivity.
Under the USO framework, Digicel is required to build and operate infrastructure that may not be commercially viable on its own, with public support helping to close coverage gaps. The aim is to give residents in these outer islands more reliable access to communication, information and basic digital services.
