- general assessment:
- fully automatic modern telecommunications system;
- telecom sector across the Caribbean region continues to be one of the growth areas;
- given the lack of economic diversity in the region, with a high dependence on tourism and activities such as fisheries and offshore financial services the telecom sector contributes greatly to the GDP (2020)

- 39 per 100 users for fixed-line and 116 per 100 users for cellular-mobile, majority of the islanders have Internet;
- market revenue has been affected in recent quarters as a result of competition and regulatory measures on termination rates and roaming tariffs (2020)
- international:
- country code - +599, PCCS submarine cable system to US, Caribbean and Central and South America (2019)
note: the COVID-19 outbreak is negatively impacting telecommunications production and supply chains globally; consumer spending on telecom devices and services has also slowed due to the pandemic's effect on economies worldwide; overall progress towards improvements in all facets of the telecom industry - mobile, fixed-line, broadband, submarine cable and satellite - has moderated
Rewritten: too little of the 2019 text remains to mark the changes.
