Guyana - Telecoms Market
Overview and Statistics
The Guyana fixed-line teledensity of
15% and mobile penetration of 22% are about average for Latin
America. Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), the
incumbent provider, holds an exclusive 20-year licence, starting
from 1991, for fixed-line telephony. It also has a non-exclusive
licence for mobile telephony. But despite the government’s
attempt to promote competition in the mobile market by issuing
licences, GT&T managed to retain a de-facto monopoly also in
this sector. The launch of Cel*Star’s GSM service was
seriously delayed for three years by legal wrangles with
GT&T. Finally, in November 2004, with Cel*Star’s much
anticipated market entry, competition is becoming a reality for
Guyana’s mobile sector. See report summary
