Digicel investing US$389mn in Caribbean pay-TV, fixed broadband
Mobile operator Digicel is investing US$389mn in the Caribbean nations of Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago in order to deploy fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure and launch its pay-TV and fixed broadband services.
The company plans to allocate US$305mn in Trinidad and Tobago and US$84mn in Barbados, according to a report by NexTV News Latam.
Digicel will provide "the most advanced online, television and digital service" in the local market, the company's CEO Sacha Thompson was quoted as saying during an official announcement in Port of Spain.
The company currently has pay-TV and broadband operations in eight Caribbean markets: Anguilla, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago and Turks and Caicos Islands.
Digicel deployed its ad-blocking technology in Barbados at the tail end of last year, continuing its expansion of mobile and online advertising control software despite warnings from Caribbean watchdog Ectel.
