The Seychelles has awarded its first Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) licence to cable television entertainment service provider Intelvision, as the government advances its policy of liberalisation in the telecoms sector.
According to the Seychelles Department of Information Technology and Communications, Intelvision, through its cable television network, will be able to offer internet and telephone services. The firm has also been issued with an Internet Service Provider's licence, bringing the number of ISPs in the jurisdiction to three.
The department has stated that it is also considering applications for additional VoIP licences.
The announcement comes at a time of further liberalisation of the Seychelles telecommunications market in a bid to bring about more choice and cheaper prices for consumers.
"Now that there are more providers of telecommunications services in Seychelles, it is expected that prices will be even more competitive and that both consumers and businesses will enjoy more choices,” the department stated.
