Telecommunications in Guyana include radio, television, fixed and mobile telephones, and the Internet. Early telecommunications were owned by large foreign firms until the industry was nationalized in the 1970s.
Early telecommunications were owned by large foreign firms until the industry was nationalized in the 1970s. Government stifled criticism with a tight control of the media, and the infrastructure lagged behind other countries, Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) holding a monopoly on most such services.
The three major ISPs in Guyana were GTT, Digicel and E-Networks. In 2021, the government made licensing exemptions for small ISPs, to encourage private-sector telecommunications development.
In 2016, Parliament ended the telephone monopoly of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph. Main lines: Over 150,000 lines in use, 131st in the world; fixed-line teledensity is about 18 per 100 persons (2019).
5G networks divide coverage areas into smaller zones called cells, enabling devices to connect to local base stations via radio. Each station connects to the broader telephone network and the Internet through high-speed optical fiber or wireless backhaul.
Major suppliers of 5G radio and core systems included Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom/Fiberhome, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and ZTE. Huawei was estimated to hold about 70 percent of global 5G base stations by 2023.

In addition to Australia’s support, the New Zealand Government contributed $2.5 million to relocate and restore Niue’s Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This funding has allowed the Ministry to repair the grid control system, procure necessary fuel tanks, and install cabling and connections.
The Ministry of Infrastructure celebrated the so5 launch of Niue’s New Power Sta;on on the 7th November 2024. The launch marks a cri;cal milestone in Niue’s journey to strengthen and modernize its energy infrastructure.
The Minister of Infrastructure, Hon. Crossley Tatui extended his appreciation to the Australian and New Zealand Governments, saying, “The construction of this new power station is a vital piece of infrastructure for Niue’s development and well-being. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our regional partners.”
