Satellite decision will boost Cayman communications
The Utility Regulation and Competition Office has created a regulatory framework that allows satellite firms to sell telecom services on the islands. Experts say it will protect Cayman’s communications during hurricanes while also providing much-needed additional capacity to the two existing undersea data cables.
On 25 Sept., the office, known as URCO or OfReg, announced its final decision on the framework for licensing satellite-based telecommunications providers. With the regulations in place, companies like Starlink, Amazon, Viasat and Eutelsat OneWeb can now be licensed to provide services to individuals and companies in the islands.
