Surinam - Telecoms Market Overview and Statistics
The Suriname telecom infrastructure is reasonable compared with the Latin American average, with a fixed-line penetration of around 17%. State-owned Telesur is the only telecom provider. A second operator, the ICMS, was in operation for four years from 1998 to 2002. However, this duopoly ended in 2002 due to problems related to interconnection conditions. Following WTO recommendations, Suriname has agreed to liberalise the telecom sector and has been developing suitable legislation to this end. However, no move has been made towards privatisation, and a new Telecommunication Act, first drafted in 1998, is still awaiting approval. Telesur operates a GSM mobile systems, launched in September 2002. Get the report now.
