LIME our business in the Caribbean, is a leading full service telecoms provider in the region and the largest telecommunications provider by revenue across the markets in which it operates.

We provide telecom services to the communities of 13 Caribbean islands: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Turks & Caicos. We also own a minority stake (49%) in the leading telecoms group in Trinidad & Tobago, TSTT, which we own with the Government.

As at 30 September 2009, LIME had 1,279,000 mobile customers, 645,000 fixed line customers and 204,000 broadband customers. LIME is the market leader in fixed line in all of the markets in which it operates apart from Antigua.

In mobile, LIME is the market leader in nine of the markets in which it has subsidiaries and in Trinidad and Tobago, and is the second-placed operator in Jamaica, St Lucia, St Vincent and Grenada. In Jamaica we took mobile services to a new level with the launch of Jamaica’s fastest 3G Network in 2009. LIME customers now have access to the new network and a range of new and improved features and services, including high speed internet, from their 3G compatible mobile phones.

We are the market leader in broadband in each of the markets in the Caribbean apart from Cayman and Turks and Caicos. LIME has the competitive advantage of offering the widest range of mobile, broadband and fixed line services across the region. We are also a leading provider to corporate and enterprise customers across the region. .

The Cable & Wireless Communications Group wholly owns eight of the businesses it operates in the Caribbean, and owns a further five businesses in partnership with the local government.

Historically our business in the Caribbean has operated as a group of separate businesses; however the subsidiary businesses were integrated in 2008 into one regional operating entity as part of the ‘One Caribbean’ transformation programme. We rebranded this unified business as LIME (Landline, Internet, Mobile and Entertainment).

As LIME, we have striven to provide a better service to customers and work to create a more efficient business that is focussed on serving the communities of the Caribbean. We are also one of the biggest employers in the region and the largest employer in many island communities.

LIME also has an active programme of community activities from leading recovery efforts at times of national emergencies to our LIME Green initiative, which aims to reduce the carbon consumption of our business.
