 Belize - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
The Belizean telecom market was officially liberalised in January 2003, yet the incumbent, Belize Telecommunications Ltd (BTL), still holds a virtual monopoly. With scant competition and ineffective regulatory control, it has been able to charge exorbitant rates for its services. A controversy over VoIP is a case in point. Although both the government and the regulator declared that they wanted to move the telecom sector towards greater competition, in practice BTL lobbied against VoIP and has been able to block any VoIP competition. BTL does, however, face competition in the mobile sector, where SpeedNet has succeeded in carving out about 18% of the market. This report provides an overview of the country's telecom sector accompanied by relevant statistics and analyses.
