Caribbean Telecoms Market
Overview and Statistics
Almost all Caribbean countries offer a full range of telecom
services, despite being characterised by small markets in terms
of population. Liberalisation agreements have been reached in
most countries. The major mobile players are the incumbent Cable
& Wireless and Digicel which, in June 2005, agreed to acquire
all the Caribbean operations of Cingular Wireless. The
region’s mobile subscriber base is concentrated in the
hands of these two major players, with only a few smaller
companies edging their way into the newly liberalised markets.
This Paul Budde report provides an overview of the
Caribbean’s telecom sector accompanied by relevant
statistics and a brief profile of the major players. See report table of

May 2006 Review
Anguilla's 2005 Budget Statement
indicated that the island was “poised to effect significant
diversification of our economy with the liberalization of
telecommunications; strengthening the institutional and
technological platform for our international financial and
business services sector; with development of a policy framework
for e-commerce and ICT based businesses". The high cost of
telecommunications and the continuing existence of a monopoly and
the absence of the requisite bandwidth and capacity are
identified as the major constraints to the development of the
financial services sector.
Anguilla has identified priorities in a document (ICT Strategic
Plan) entitled: Strategic framework for an information economy
for Anguilla with ten strategic objectives, intended to "ensure
that the lives, work and well-being of all Anguillians are
enriched, jobs are created and the natural wealth is enhanced,
through the participation of all Anguillians in the growing
information economy."
e-Government
The government has an official web site, through which several
services are offered. For example, immigration-related forms can
be downloaded. This is an active website, described as "an
authoritative source of information about the departments and
agencies of the Government, current information on policies and
programmes, and general information for prospective clients,
visitors, students and investors."
The leading institution promoting ICT
in Anguilla is the Department of Information
Technology and e-Government Services.
