The History of the Southern Cross Cable in Fiji

In the next part of our voyage to understand statecraft in the Pacific, Gordon Peake phones in expert views on the race to build and control telecommunications infrastructure in the Pacific.

With Maureen Penjuli; Coordinator of the Fiji-based Pacific Network on Globalisation, Amanda Watson; Research Fellow at the Department of Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University, and Graeme Smith; Australian National University Associate Professor.
