Telecommunications provider Telstra will offer free calls to Vanuatu after the country was battered with cyclone and earthquakes in just a few days.

Satellite and ground communications solutions provider SES and mobile network operator Digicel extend their partnership to provide the Kingdom of Tonga with strong connection to minimise bandwidth disruptions.

SES announced that it has enabled Digicel to restore vital communications with the outside world following the Hunga Tonga-Ha’apai volcano eruption that sent tsunami waves across the Pacific Ocean.

Super taxes proposed by Papua New Guinea will hit Telstra in its role as owner of Digicel, with the telco having to pay out about $36 million if the tax comes into force.

After a long time, Telstra has literally hit the jackpot with a business move: the company has fallen in with the Australian Government's wishes and jointly acquired Digicel's business in the South Pacific, something that the US has pushed Australia to do.

Ratings agency S&P Global Ratings says its assessment of Telstra's business risk, following its acquisition of Digicel's business in the South Pacific region, remains largely unchanged.

The Australian Government's move to push Telstra to buy Digicel appears to contradict the policy it has adopted in order to ban Huawei from having a role in the country's 5G networks.

In a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange, Telstra confirmed that it has been in discussions regarding a potential transaction to acquire telecommunications company, Digicel Pacific in the South Pacific region in partnership with the Australian Government.
