Digicel Chairman Denis O'Brien

O’Brien is the founder, patron and owner of the Digicel Group and Foundation here in Papua New Guinea.

This morning he paid a visit to all the Digicel staff and workers based in Port Moresby.

Upon addressing the Digicel staff and workers, he said: “Any business that makes profit within a market should always give back to the communities from which it draws its strength, through the building and regeneration of these communities. This has always been a fundamental belief of mine and I’m proud to say a core value of Digicel”.

This announcement was made by Attorney-General and Minister of Communications Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum following a meeting with Digicel Board Chairman Denis O’Brien in Suva yesterday.                                  

A government statement said the AG emphasised the need for more expansive and robust telecommunications infrastructure to meet the increased demands from consumers for both greater wireless internet access and faster download speeds.
