Charlestown, Nevis – In a landmark move to strengthen telecommunications services and increase competition in the Federation, the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) and St. Kitts-Nevis Cable Communications Ltd. (commonly known as The Cable) have officially entered into a partnership to introduce a third telecommunications provider on the island of Nevis.

Partnership Details

The partnership was formalized with the signing of a Services Agreement on April 23, 2025. Under this agreement, The Cable will expand its operations—previously exclusive to St. Kitts—into Nevis, marking a significant milestone in the company’s history and a progressive step for the island’s digital future.

Benefits of the Partnership

This collaboration enables The Cable to utilize the NIA’s robust fiber backbone infrastructure to deliver high-quality telecommunications services to both residential and business customers across Nevis.
