Cable Expansion to Nevis Announced Through Partnership with Nevis Island Administration

A New Era of Connectivity: The Cable Extends Services to Nevis

The telecommunications landscape of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis is undergoing a significant transformation with the arrival of a third telecommunications provider on the island of Nevis. St. Kitts-Nevis Cable Communications Ltd. (The Cable), previously operating exclusively on St. Kitts, has partnered with the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) to expand its services, promising enhanced connectivity, greater competition, and a boost to the island’s digital economy. This landmark agreement, formalized on April 23, 2025, leverages the NIA’s existing fiber backbone infrastructure, enabling a swift and efficient rollout of The Cable’s services across Nevis. This strategic partnership signifies a commitment to modernization and digital inclusion, ensuring that Nevisians have access to cutting-edge telecommunications services comparable to those available on St. Kitts. The collaboration also represents a significant achievement for The Cable, fulfilling their vision of national inclusion and extending their reach across the entire Federation.

A Mutually Beneficial Partnership: Leveraging Local Infrastructure for National Development

The heart of this partnership lies in the utilization of the NIA’s locally-owned fiber optic network. This arrangement underscores the strategic importance of owning and controlling critical infrastructure for national development. By retaining ownership of this vital asset, the NIA ensures that the benefits of this telecommunications expansion directly impact the Nevisian economy. Revenues generated from The Cable’s operations will remain within the local economy, fueling further development and investment. Furthermore, local control over the infrastructure allows the NIA to influence connectivity standards and pricing, ensuring they align with the public interest and promote long-term sustainability. This strategic approach to infrastructure management empowers Nevis to shape its digital future and maximize the benefits of enhanced connectivity for its citizens.

Empowering Nevisians: Enhanced Choice, Affordability, and Accessibility

The introduction of The Cable as the third telecommunications provider in Nevis promises a significant improvement in the quality and affordability of services for Nevisians. Increased competition is expected to drive down prices for internet and television services, while also encouraging improved customer service as providers strive to attract and retain customers. The expanded reach facilitated by the NIA’s comprehensive fiber network will also extend connectivity to previously underserved rural communities, fostering greater digital inclusion across the island. Premier Mark Brantley emphasized the NIA’s commitment to providing Nevisians with access to modern, high-quality telecommunications services, highlighting the partnership with The Cable as a key step in achieving this goal and securing greater digital independence for Nevis.

A Springboard for Economic Growth and Digital Inclusivity

The arrival of The Cable is poised to stimulate economic growth and promote digital inclusivity across Nevis. The enhanced connectivity will provide businesses with the tools and resources needed to compete in the global marketplace, fostering innovation and creating new opportunities. Improved access to information and communication technologies will also empower individuals, providing them with the skills and knowledge needed to participate fully in the digital economy. By bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to technology, this initiative lays the foundation for a more inclusive and prosperous future for all Nevisians.

A Vision Realized: National Inclusion and Modern Connectivity

For The Cable, this expansion represents the culmination of a long-held vision of national inclusion. By extending their services to Nevis, they are fulfilling their commitment to connecting the entire Federation and providing all citizens with access to modern, future-ready telecommunications services. The partnership with the NIA is viewed as a win-win for both organizations and the people of Nevis, ushering in a new era of connectivity and opportunity. The company’s leadership expressed pride in this achievement and their excitement to contribute to the development and digital advancement of Nevis.

The First Step in a Connected Future: Service Commencement Imminent

The partnership between The Cable and the NIA is not just a symbolic agreement; it represents a tangible commitment to improving the lives of Nevisians. With the service agreement signed and the infrastructure in place, the focus now shifts to delivering on the promise of enhanced connectivity. The announcement of the first customer under this new initiative is eagerly anticipated, marking the official commencement of service delivery and the beginning of a new era of connectivity for Nevis. This historic partnership sets the stage for a brighter, more connected future for the island, empowering its citizens and driving economic growth.
