Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago

Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (generally known as TSTT) is an incumbent telephone and Internet service provider in Trinidad and Tobago. The company, which is jointly owned by National Enterprises Ltd (NEL) 51%, a majority-owned company of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, and Cable & Wireless Communications 49%, was formed out of a merger of Telco (Trinidad and Tobago Telephone Company Limited) and Textel (Trinidad and Tobago External Telecommunications Company Limited). TSTT no longer holds a monopoly in fixed-line telephone services due to FLOW introducing a fixed-line service of their own, and their cellular monopoly was broken in June 2005 when licenses were granted to Digicel and Laqtel.
