Poll: will Telstra buying Digicel improve competition?

Welcome,

29 Oct 2021 by
This poll has ended (since 3 years).

Australia's largest telco, Telstra, and the Australia Government are making a bid to buy Digicel Pacific. Will a Telstra-owned Digicel improve competition in PNG's telecommunication's market? Take our poll.

The US$1.6 billion (K3.51 billion) deal struck between Telstra, the Australian Government and Digicel, will see the PNG's dominant telco being owned and operated by Telstra (if it receives regulatory approval).

Will it improve competition and drive down prices? Let us know what you expect below. (NB This poll will close 5 November at 5pm PNG time.)

It's too soon to tell
37.07%
Yes, it should drive down prices
33.62%
No, prices are unlikely to come down
29.31%
