Caribbean - Digicel announced it has reached 11 million customers across its 32 markets worldwide in ten years

[royal gazette] Digicel has announced it has reached the significant milestone of 11 million customers across its 32 markets worldwide.

Since launching in Jamaica nine-and-a-half years ago, the mobile phone provider, now domiciled in Bermuda, has grown rapidly throughout the Caribbean, Central America and the Pacific.

Digicel achieved 10 percent subscriber growth year-on-year and increased its market share quarter-on-quarter in all of its major markets (El Salvador, Haiti, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea and Trinidad & Tobago).

In the last few weeks, the company has launched two groundbreaking new technologies with the rollout of 3G+ in Bermuda and the introduction of WiMAX technology to Jamaica with the launch of Digicel 4G Broadband.

Colm Delves, Digicel Group CEO, said: "It's an exciting time for us. We are very pleased with the continued growth we are achieving across all of our markets and our new technology launches in Bermuda and Jamaica have been really well received and are set to change the mobile and broadband landscapes in those markets."
