Samoa is currently connected to the internet via satellite and the older American Samoa – Hawaii Cable System.
According to Samoa’s Minister for Communication Information Technology, Afamasaga Rico Tupa’i this needs to improve to meet the growing demand for connectivity.
“Our active Samoa Submarine Cable company are also in talks with Tahiti for an additional connection from there as well,” he said.
The minister also indicated that Samoa will not only rely on the submarine cable project linked to the Southern Cross Cable in Fiji.
