French speaking New Caledonia is equipped with a modern telephone system provided by government-owned OPT New Caledonia, the sole provider of domestic telecommunications services including a GSM mobile network. Traditional Internet access is widely available. Broadband ADSL is procurable in an increasing number of areas. Mobile telephony has become the favoured means of communication, with users exceeding the number of fixed-line connections by more than 2:1. In December 2003 the first 3G live call conducted in the Pacific Islands was made on OPT’s UMTS trial network. In October 2006 it was announced that a new submarine cable would be built by Alcatel and owned by OPT New Caledonia, linking New Caledonia with Australia. It is being billed as the first regional, as opposed to trans-oceanic cable to use wave division multiplexing.
