Introduction
According to the Telecommunications Act 1989 of Vanuatu, the Telecommunications
Authority has the responsibility to ensure the provision and development of telecom services. In
particular, the aim of the authority is to make sure that operators are technically, financially and
managerially capable of carrying out services specified in their licenses.
Licenses to operate telecommunications systems in Vanuatu are issued by the Minister on the
authority being satisfied that an applicant is capable of providing the services required.
Licenses issued must report the period of the license, fees payable by licensees and may include
conditions relating to the operation of the license. This is required to be published in a manner
determined by the authority. Operators are required to submit to the authority a copy of its
audited accounts.
The authority reports annually to the Minister who submits the report before Parliament. The
authority is also responsible for the control of radiocommunications services.
