Report Published: "Caribbean Telecommunications Report Q2 2016"

Haiti and Cuba represent the largest organic growth opportunities in the region, as both are significantly underdeveloped compared to their peers. However, the risks associated with business in these two markets mean that a mobile subscription boom is far from likely.

Key Data

Cayman Islands has the highest mobile penetration, at 153.4% in 2015, while Cuba's penetration rate remains below the regional average, at 28.9%.

The number of mobile lines in Cuba reached the 3mn mark in Q215, up from 2.4mn lines at the start of 2015, according to data published by state-owned telecoms operator Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba (ETECSA). The increase was mainly owing to a promotion, called Si activas ganas 30, wherein new users obtained USD30 in credit for activating a line for the same amount. ETECSA revealed that 300,000 new mobile subscribers signed up in just five days due to the promotion. Digicel Jamaica currently has 1mn smartphone users on its mobile network, which accounts for more than 45% of the operator's overall subscriber base in Jamaica.
