BTL Addresses Consolidation Rumors and Future Plans

Belize Telemedia Limited (BTL) has issued a public statement addressing recent media speculation surrounding potential consolidation within the country’s broadband and cable telecommunications sector. The company emphasized that such discussions are not new and have been ongoing both locally and globally for several years.

“Over the years since 2018, BTL and operators have exchanged and discussed proposals for amalgamation,” the company said.

BTL further stated that any future consolidation efforts would be carefully considered. “Any potential future consolidation would be guided by the goal of strengthening Our National Telecom to the benefit of the people of Belize.”

“These efficiencies could translate into better services, expanded access for underserved communities, improved value for consumers and employees, and stronger returns for our more than 1,500 shareholders,” BTL added.
