Both entries here are the first link in a chain rather than the result. The submarine cable that reaches Port Moresby was a wholesale event: cheaper retail phone bills needed a competitive market on top of it, and that took years longer. The camera command centre, opened in 2025, replaces a network from the APEC summit that was already partly non-functional.
The atlas documents 2 projects in Port Moresby, the earliest dating to 2020: 2 still running without a verdict. Every entry carries an evidence grade — the strongest here is official (2 entries) — and links its sources.
