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, which it launched in September 2002. Get the report
