The main actor in the telecom market is the state owned United Telecommunication
Services (UTS). This company owns the fixed telephone network and offers a whole
spectrum of value added services including open air and cable television[35]. Recently,
the UTS has lost its monopoly on the land-line infrastructure (Amigoe, 2008b). Another
player is Digicel, a fast growing regional company. There is an E-Commerce Park
(ECP) operating in the government appointed E-Zone. This means ECP customers pay
two paper annual profit tax. This park was opened in 2001 and has been expanding
ever since[36]. There are number of internet providers, but, even so, in general, telecom
costs are considered relatively high.
