BTL began its existence as Cable & Wireless, Plc, a British firm, which in 1956 introduced the first telephone system in Belize with international radio-telephone links. In 1963 the Government of Belize gave Cable & Wireless a license for telecommunications services and in 1972 by Ordinance No. 22, the government established Belize Telecommunications Authority (BTA) as a statutory board with duties to operate, maintain and administer the national telecommunication services, and all other internal and external telecommunication services. On December 13, C&W and BTA merged to form Belize Telecommunications Limited (BTL). In May 29th 2007, it changed its name from Belize Telecommunications Limited to Belize Telemedia Limited. The wireless division of BTL is called DigiCell.
In August 2009, the company was nationalized by the Government of Belize, who appropriated 94% of its shares which were previously controlled by Michael Ashcroft.
The services provided by BTL are vast and distinguished by efficiency, quality and advanced technology. The company has expanded its mission to go beyond just providing telephone service to providing telecommunications solutions for its residential, business and government customers.
