One Communications plans hinterland coverage, weighs financial viability

One Communications (formerly GTT) is developing five-year plans to expand telecom coverage to Guyana's hinterland, with CEO Abraham Smith citing financial viability of low-population-density areas as a key constraint. The company aims for mid-2027 milestones, but specifics on investment and subsidies remain unclear. This matters as connectivity is critical for economic development and public services in remote regions.
