BERMUDA

摘要

Digicel Group, the mobile phone network provider with operations in 31 markets across the Caribbean, Central America, and Oceania, has struck a deal to acquire Bermuda Telephone Company (BTC) - just six months after it was taken over by Canadian group Barrie OpCo. In July 2014 Barrie OpCo, a recently incorporated Bermuda company owned by an independent investor group with experience in telecommunications, purchased 100 percent of BTC from local telecoms firm KeyTech for BMD30 million (US$30 million)-well below the book price - prompting a regulatory investigation into whether the proposed transactions would have an effect on competition within Bermuda's electronic communications sector.
