ABOUT PACIFIC MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY

History

Pacific Mobile Communications Company Ltd. was incorporated in Papua New Guinea in October 1995 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telikom PNG.  The company was formed for the purpose of Operating and Marketing Value-Added Tele-Communication Services such as the Cellular Mobile Phone System and the Internet Gateway. The company commenced with a staff of only 8 employees operating from a small office in the Telikom Headquarters (Telikom Rumana) building.  In early 1996 a sales office was established in the Garden City building at Boroko. Additional Sales, Accounting and Technical Staff were employed as the Mobile Phone Business grew and the Internet Gateway Service was introduced.  In addition to the sales office at Garden City, the financial section was still operating from Telikom Rumana at Waigani and the Technical staff from Haus Technology at Boroko.  This fragmentation resulted in operational inefficiency, and in 1999 the decision was taken to relocate all of the Company’s Operations into a single building in a central location. PMC moved into its present leased premises along Waigani Drive in January 2000.
