Digicel could face competition in its next acquisition bid in the region. Cable & Wireless Communications is considering a one billion pound take-over of a telecoms network in the Dominican Republic to increase its presence in the Caribbean. Digicel is also reportedly eyeing the network.
Orange, the French network, has been seeking bids for its Orange Dominicana operation since the summer and has set a November deadline for binding offers.
It is Orange’s only business in Latin America, with 3.3 million customers.
