Cable & Wireless Communications (CWC) has signed new long-term operating licences with the Government of St. Helena which will lead to the expansion of telecoms services, including the island’s first mobile network.
Cable & Wireless St. Helena has signed new 10 year operating agreements for the provision of telecoms and television services.
Under the new agreement Cable & Wireless St. Helena will roll-out a mobile network in 2014, a year before St. Helena’s first airport becomes operational, which is expected to lead to the development of a tourism industry on the island.
CWC will also upgrade the island’s broadband network, and has committed to double the speed of its broadband service by 2013, and increase the number of television channels available on St. Helena from three to 15.
Customers will also benefit as broadband and international fixed line call prices are reduced over the lifetime of the agreement.
