REQUEST FOR TENDER: EGIG-2018-003 - Examining Internet Pricing Models for Papua New Guinea
Background / Overview
The Business Council of Papua New Guinea (BCPNG), the Australian High Commission to Papua New Guinea and the Economic Governance and Inclusive Growth Partnership delivered by Abt Associates intend to support an evidence-based research activity to contribute to discussions about improving the affordability of retail internet in PNG.
