Ukufakwa kohlelo olusha lwamakhebula e-submarine fibre optic eMontserrat kuqedwe ngempumelelo. Imisebenzi yokufakwa kwasolwandle iqale ngomhla ka-29 Juni 2020 kulandela ukufika komkhumbi ofaka ikhebula, 'IT Intrepid' futhi yaqedwa ngoJulayi 2.nd.
Umphathi Wephrojekthi, uMnu Denzil West, waphawula: “Ngemva kokuphothulwa ngempumelelo kwenqubo yokufaka nokuhlola, i-Submarine Fiber Optic Project manje isiqediwe. Manje sekugxilwe ekuphothulweni kwezingxenye zomhlaba zephrojekthi,” echaza. Iphrojekthi isalokhu isendleleni ekupheleni kuka-Agasti, idethi Yokulungela Isevisi (RFS) yohlelo olusha.

Kodwa-ke, konke ukuqhela emphakathini, ukukhucululwa kwendle nezinye izinyathelo zokuphepha eziqondisa ukusebenza kwamabhizinisi nezikhungo zezenkolo zisekhona.
