Digicel Wins License, But Set to Pull Out of Timor-Leste

Dili - Tempo Semanal - Digicel first arrived in Timor-Leste in 2008 and established offices in Dili in 2009. It came to Timor-Leste in search of a license to operate a national telephone and internet service to compete with the much criticized monopoly held by Timor Telcom.

After 4 years of relationship building, investing in community services, learning about Timor-Leste and making preparations in every district for a possible license, Digicel was granted a license on 28 June 2012. Digicel claimed that if awarded a license that it would invest 100 million USD into Timor-Leste. However it was not the only other company to win, as Indonesian company TELIN was also awarded a license.
