I am not sure of the exact date.  I have seen a copy of the Post Courier (p39 30 Oct 2006) saying PNG could now sell goods and services on the Internet thanks to pioneering work done by Data Nets Limited (Sundar Ramamurthy) and the Westpac Bank.  This paved the way for Air Niugini to be able to offer flights for sale over the Internet using Kina.

 

Data Nets ran an advert in The National newspaper proudlly annoucing the launch of PNG's first e-commerce transaction on the 27th of October 2006 so the actual date could possibly have been just before the 27th of October.  I assume they would have run a similar advert in the Post Courier nespaper.

 

Papua New Guinea's first e-commerce website was -- http://www.esishop.com.pg/
