Torres and Cape Indigenous Councils Alliance Inc (TCICA) commissioned studies suggest that broadband and mobile infrastructure and services will provide real opportunities for economic and social development in the Cape and Torres region (ARUP, 2019; Matson, 2020). ARUP (2019:86) concludes that poor digital connectivity “limits the ability to maximise economic opportunities, partake in e-learning or benefit from tele-health services, and generally impacts on social connectivity and quality of life”. These TCICA studies, along with this report, identify connectivity as one of the transformative strategies needed for the region.
