Examples of Telikom in a sentence
PNG Telikom Ltd, Be-mobile and Digicel provide telecommunication services in Port Moresby.
In 2002, mobile operations and management of the internet gateway were moved into a wholly-owned Telikom subsidiary.The Independent Consumer and Competition Commission Act 2002 established a separate competition authority (the ICCC) along the same lines as the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission.
On the basis of the new policy, Telikom unsuccessfully petitioned the courts to stop the ICCC process.
In response to disagreement between Telikom and the ICCC about the ceding of Telikom’s mobile monopoly, in September 2006 the government released a new ICT policy reversing the 2005 competition decision.
Operator fees are proportional to firm revenues, so the vast majority of NICTA’s operating budget is paid by Telikom and Digicel.
To counter the local political influence of Telikom, Digicel has been required to engage in local and international political processes (Duncan, 2013).
Even though it was unable to obtain a nationwide interconnection agreement with Telikom until July 2008, Digicel’s entry led to an immediate fall in prices and a 700% increase in the number of mobile subscribers in the first year of competition (Batten, Guoy & Duncan, 2009).Further ICT policies were announced in 2007 and 2008, but it was not until March 2009 that clear objectives and a timeframe for further reforms were translated into legislation.
Evidence of its manifestation exists in the 2006-7 conflicts between the ICCC and Pangtel, and more recently in the apparent lack of attention to the bifurcation of the industry into a fixed line market dominated by Telikom and a mobile market dominated by Digicel.
Telikom now forms part of a KCH asset portfolio intended to generate revenues to pay dividends to the State.
Major features were enabling Pangtel to license private mobile operators in competition to the incumbent, and making provision for the future vertical separation of Telikom.
