Digicel Acquires Mobile Business of Bonaire Telecom Provider TELBO
Communications
December 08, 2006 --
Digicel, the fastest-growing mobile telecommunications operator in the
Caribbean, today announced it has acquired the mobile business from Bonaire
telecom provider, TELBO. Under the terms of the deal, Digicel has acquired
TELBO's existing mobile subscriber base, spectrum and base station.
Digicel entered the Bonaire market in July 2006, making it the first mobile
operator ever to connect Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao (the ABC islands) under one
seamless GSM network. Digicel has also increased its commitment to the island by
becoming the official sponsor of the Bonaire national football team and Bonaire
national football league.
Observing the moment is Bert Schreuders, General Manager of Digicel Bonaire and
David Hall, CEO of
Digicel Northern Caribbean. Full integration plans are now underway to ensure a
smooth and seamless transition for TELBO customers to the Digicel family,
allowing them to keep all their exiting benefits as well as experience Digicel's
leading industry service, cutting-edge technology and unmatched customer
service.
Bonaire Minister of Economic Affairs, Mr. Burney El Hage, welcomes the
acquisition. "This is a positive development for TELBO and the people of
Bonaire, as it enables TELBO to focus more closely on developing other sides of
their business while Digicel will bring Bonaire mobile customers additional
choice in addition to increased support and involvement in our community."
According to Hans Lute, CEO of Digicel Dutch Caribbean, "We are delighted to
welcome TELBO's mobile customers into our family and we are putting the
necessary processes in place to ensure a smooth transition with former TELBO
mobile customers being able to keep their mobile phone, telephone number as well
as their current benefits."
TELBO has operated in Bonaire for the past 23 years, providing a diversity of
services such as fixed home connections, mobile telephone, international
traffic, lease lines, public telephones, ISDN, internet dial up and wireless
broadband and ASDL internet broadband. Digicel has acquired the mobile arm of
the business.
"We are confident that our customers will be in very good hands with Digicel,"
says Edsel Winklaar, General Manager of TELBO. "Digicel has a five-year track
record of providing world-class quality service across the Caribbean and this
acquisition guarantees world-class service and attractive rates for our
customers. I am sure I speak for all our customers when I say we look forward to
the benefits of top quality coverage, innovative product offerings and superior
customer service -- all of which have become the hallmarks of Digicel."
Digicel's Bonaire operations are led by Bert Schreuders, former Digicel Head of
Customer Relations Dutch Caribbean.
Digicel currently has operations in 22 markets. With more than 3 million
subscribers, the company's investment in the region currently stands at US$1.2
billion.
