The LTA encouraged all service providers in Liberia to utilize these newly established cross-border fibre optic connections. The regulator expressed optimism that this intervention would help maintain stable services for end users throughout the repair period.

In a proactive move to safeguard the country’s internet services, the Liberian government has initiated the relocation of the landing point for the ACE submarine cable. This crucial initiative, spearheaded by the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) alongside the incumbent telecommunication operator and the Cable Consortium of Liberia (CCL), is projected to cost approximately $200,000.
The decision to relocate stems from the construction of a monument in PHP Park, the original connection point for the ACE cable.

The LTA announced the operation through a statement on its Facebook page, emphasizing the importance of maintaining connectivity for the nation.
