Cook Islands’ finance minister Mark Brown has indicated that the government will re-examine the previously rejected proposal to connect the tiny Pacific country to an undersea international fibre-optic cable, reports Radio New Zealand International. Brown is quoted as saying that the proposed first step is a baseline survey to determine how improved broadband will affect the country’s GDP and productivity, adding that this could result in the government selling some of its 40% share in Telecom Cook Islands (TCI), to raise funds.
