About Us

ASTCA Logo

History - The local communications network in American Samoa, with connections to other U.S. and international points, was originally built by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Department of the Interior, which formerly exercised governmental authority in the territory. The network was inherited by the American Samoa Government. Because of American Samoa's remote location, limited economy, and small population base, private companies have not been interested in providing local telecommunication services or originating long distance services in the territory to date.

Purpose and Operation - In order to provide local residents with service, the American Samoa Telecommunications Authority (ASTCA) of the American Samoa Government operates under a Board of Directors, which is appointed by the Governor. ASTCA operates without a governmental subsidy, and funds its operations and upgrades from the revenues it generates from sales and services.

Coverage - ASTCA provides local service covering the main island and the principal outer islands of American Samoa and offers world-wide long distance connection. The ASTCA system is broadly used by residents of the main island and the outer islands. More than 80 percent of the households in American Samoa subscribe to telephone service provided by ASTCA.
