Digicel, on the other hand, has offered to purchase the company. Some years ago TELEM was looking into the possibility of selling the company, when the information became public at least twelve companies showed interest. SMN News further learnt that the Council of Ministers has already eliminated LIME, Cable and Wireless, and some other American Companies whose proposal was to purchase TELEM Group of Companies.
It is speculated by members of the public that TELEM was sold to Digicel because recently TELEM has been using the same color as Digicel in its promotional materials. They said that TELEM even painted the building in red to show that they are in favor of DIGICEL. However, SMN News managed to confirm that the company has not been sold and that the Council of Ministers will soon decide the way forward for TELEM, while the company is busy restructuring.
