This study titled "Redefining Telecommunication
Legislation and Regulatory Environment in Fiji
for Improved Economic Growth and Social Development"
conducted a comprehensive and in-depth analysis
to examine whether regulation, monopolistic position
in the industry and associated limited bandwidth,
expensive/restricted access, unused capacity in
the Southern Cross cable, constitute an unacceptable
drag on the Fiji economy resulting in low levels
of investments, economic growth and social development.
Research questions focussed on:
- What is the current situation of IT industry
in Fiji?
- How does it impact on the ICT sector, higher
education, and macroeconomic growth?
- What can we learn from other countries' experiences?
- How can the economic development and human
capacity building are stimulated under the current
regulatory framework?
- How can we change the situation of ICT policy
and regulation for improved economic growth
based on experiences of other countries?
