Caribbean-based Digicel Group said it could roll out its new mobile network in Fiji next week. The launch of Digicel mobile network will be going to give competition to Vodafone Fiji which has long enjoyed the monopoly on the provision of cellular services there. The interim government of Fiji issued Digicel Fiji with its mobile operating licence in July’08, it was announced five months after the firm had won the right to offer services in competition with Vodafone. Commerce Minister Tom Ricketts said that Digicel would be issued with its concession once it had paid the licence fee of USD10.25 million.
