Digicel reaches 10 million subscribers
Telecommunications provider Digicel has today announced that it has reached the 10 million subscriber landmark across its 32 markets worldwide.
At the end of June 2009, the company, owned by Irishman Denis O'Brien, recorded 7.2 million subscribers across its 24 markets in the Caribbean and El Salvador.
The recently-launched businesses in Honduras and Panama are well ahead of expectations with 1.4 million subscribers across the two markets, as well as the six markets in the Pacific accounting for a further 1.4 million subscribers.
The total of 10 million subscribers equates to a compound annual growth rate of 40% over the last two years.
"We are delighted with our progress," said Colm Delves, CEO of Digicel Group.
"Since our launch in Jamaica in 2001, we have grown to now span 32 markets worldwide and to serve over ten million customers.
"We’ve done this by ensuring that our commitment to provide the best network, best service and best value is evident in everything we do, and the way in which we do it."
