The agency informs all stakeholders and the public that a consultation document is now available and can be obtained from the official NICTA website or in physical format from the institution's head office.
The objective of this process is to receive opinions, comments, and observations from various stakeholders in the sector, as well as from the public, regarding the UAS projects.
WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?
The direct impact is on telecommunications operators and digital service providers, regulatory and government authorities, investors, and private sector stakeholders.
CONCLUSION:
NICTA's public consultation process on the UAS 2026 projects is a key mechanism for strengthening digital inclusion in Papua New Guinea. Its impact is significant because it not only involves the telecommunications sector but also aims to transform the lives of marginalized communities by facilitating their access to essential communication services.
