Summary

Although telecommunications are in a state of constant change throughout the world, nowhere have the transformations advanced further, faster and in more interesting ways than in the Pacific Basin. This change is closely linked to the more general progress of the electronic sector in the region which has moved forward at an incredible pace as well as the region's important need for telecommunications services based on its geographic distance from the rest of the industrialized world.
