Starlink’s arrival brings promise for consumers but also has the potential to transform Cayman’s telecommunications infrastructure.

Telecoms regulators are contemplating price control measures to cut the cost of internet capacity as part of a ‘market power’ review across the sector.

It will cost tens of millions of dollars and won't necessarily make Internet any cheaper, but new subsea cable infrastructure is considered critical to the future of the Cayman Islands. Here's why.

A long standing dispute over the payment of licensing fees between local telecommunications operator C3/Infinity Broadband Ltd and regulator OfReg is heading for the courts.

In a series of stories, journalist James Whittaker takes a look at how population growth affects every aspect of infrastructure in the Cayman Islands.

Utility regulator OfReg lacks the legal expertise to address the controversies and challenges around infrastructure sharing in the telecommunications industry, the Public Accounts Committee heard last week.

New rules issued by Cayman’s telecoms regulator mean that licensed companies will have to report outages or could face fines. Cayman’s phone providers, most notably Cable & Wireless, known as Flow, have recently had a number of high-profile outages.

The audit committee that is supposed to provide oversight for surveillance and wiretap warrants has never been formed, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Proposed changes to Cayman’s telecom regulations would significantly increase fines for phone, Internet and television companies from $25,000 to $500,000 for violating rules or requirements in their licenses.
