Most Fiji businesses treat backup as an afterthought until they lose something. Here's a practical, low-cost way to protect your data before the next cyclone season, ransomware attack, or hardware failure.
Pacific Islands Forum leaders have endorsed the region's first collective position on AI. The Principles aren't binding, and the governance framework they're meant to inform won't be considered until 2027.
Post Fiji has automated all 58 of its offices and is planning digital parcel lockers and a Pacific Mail Hub in Nadi. It's the physical-world version of the same ambition driving the Natadola data center project.
One component of the Natadola cable landing project was denied environmental approval over inadequate community consultation. A public dispute over land, compensation, and customary rights has since followed.
