Samoa - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses

Government of Samoa continues investments in digital infrastcructure

The lack of sufficient international connectivity remains a key hindrance to the improvement of telecom services in island nations like Samoa. However, the development of digital infrastructure such as the Tui-Samoa submarine cable, which was ready for service in mid-2020, as well as the Samoa National Broadband Highway are helping to increase internet speeds and reduce broadband prices in the country.

The Asian Development Bank estimated that Samoa had a bandwidth demand of 420Mb/s in 2015, but projected that this would rise to bandwidth demand of 6Gb/s in 2022 and 30Gb/s by 2028. To that end, the government of Samoa is continuing its investments to bring high-speed telecoms services to the country.

The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology was allocated $8.8 million in the 2021/2022 Budget. This includes provision for projects including the Samoa National Broadband Highway co-location as well as the government’s investment in the Samoa Connectivity Project which involves the connection, via submarine cable, of Samoa to the Southern Cross Cable Network in Fiji.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
