COMPANY OVERVIEW

Belize Telecommunications Limited was first incorporated in Belize on April 3, 1987.  Belize Telecommunications Ltd. took over the operations of both the Belize Telecommunications Authority and Cable and Wireless on January 1, 1988, and operated under a 15 year exclusive licence granted in 1987 to provide telecommunication services in Belize.  This exclusive licence ended on December 30, 2002 and was then replaced by a new 15 year non exclusive Individual Licence.

 

Under the Telecommunications Undertaking Vesting Act No. 10 of 2007, at the close of business on May 29, 2007 the assets, liabilities, rights, obligations, and other property of Belize Telecommunications Ltd. were vested in Belize Telemedia Ltd.  Belize Telemedia Limited is a company incorporated in Belize on September 14, 2006.  Under the Vesting Act on May 30, 2007, Belize Telecommunications Ltd. was dissolved and struck off the Register of Companies.  Belize Telecommunications Ltd. therefore ceased to exist at that date and no longer conducts business.  BTL operates under an Individual Telecommunications Licence, issued by the Public Utilities Commission (“PUC”). The Licence shall continue in force until December 29, 2017, and thereafter for consecutive periods of five years, unless the PUC or the Licencee serves not less than one year’s written notice of termination.  As of the end of August 2009, 94.5% of BTL was owned by the Government of Belize.
