Now, Papua New Guinea is joining a wave of Pacific island countries liberalizing their telecommunications industries and developing the private sector. The ADB Digicel Mobile Telecommunication Expansion Project, launched in 2009, is at the forefront of those efforts.
An ADB $25 million loan funded the construction of the mobile phone towers, as well as phone towers in other remote locations across Papua New Guinea. As soon as the towers were built and operational, Dipole was able to set up his now successful eco-lodge business, which employs 10 people and has visitors all year round.
Before 2007, telecommunications in Papua New Guinea - the largest economy in the Pacific region, with a population of 6.7 million - were dominated by the state-owned company, Telikom PNG. The result was fixed-line communications of around just 1% and mobile penetration of less than 5%.
Marcelo Minc, country director of ADB's Papua New Guinea Resident Mission, says improved telecommunications via Digicel's network will help residents of remote areas have better access to information.

The result was fixed-line communications of around just 1% and mobile penetration of less than 5%. Now, Papua New Guinea is joining a wave of Pacific island countries liberalizing their telecommunications industries and developing the private sector.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
