Moving traffic off the Coral Sea 2 cable that is far more expensive than PPC-1. The PPC-1 cable allows PNG to send traffic north to the USA and Asia directly whereas the Coral Sea 2 cable sends traffic directly to Sydney not a lot of use if you consider all your traffic can be snooped by Australia.
