Broadband and Telecommunications in Belize

Belize was among the first Latin American countries to privatise its national telecom company in 1988, but gave the incumbent, Belize Telecommunications Ltd (BTL), a 15-year monopoly concession until end-2002 for all fixed-line and mobile phone services. Now, despite theoretical liberalisation, BTL still holds a de facto monopoly. International Telecommunications (Intelco) became BTL’s first competitor in October 2003, but was bankrupt by November 2004. A third company now has the task of breaking BTL’s monopoly: SpeedNet Communications (SpeedNet), which began to build a CDMA2000 1X network in September 2004. SpeedNet plans to offer Internet access, wireless broadband and various corporate services as well as mobile telephony.
