Abstract
The Pacific island countries frequently complain that their geographical isolation from the major markets of the world is a major reason for their poor economic growth and poverty reduction performance. However, the very low-cost telecommunications now available throughout most of the world offers the Pacific countries the opportunity to overcome this geographical isolation in various ways and, as a result, to increase peoples’ welfare much faster. Unfortunately, governments in the Pacific are locking their countries away from the benefits available from low-cost telecommunications through monopolisation of their telecommunications sectors.
