Abstract

In 2007, the telecommunications company Digicel began operating in Papua New Guinea. Digicel offered an attractive alternative to the limited services of B-Mobile, the state-owned mobile phone operator. People in the eastern highlands town of Goroka for the first time had access to affordable communications as well as a new means for earning income. The documentary Mobail Goroka tells the story of Luke Natapol, Joseph Kaupa and Michael Agwa who all earn money by operating street stalls that provide mobile phone services. Highlighting their daily routines, the documentary shows how people respond to the logistical challenges and economic opportunities presented by new communications technologies.
