May 22, 2006 - With millions of immigrants from Guatemala in the US, and DigiLinea’s mission to provide the VoIP products and services needed by the US Hispanic community, being vertically integrated into the Guatemalan market is very important due to the size and volume of calling traffic. As Central Americans are the second largest US Hispanic group after Mexicans in terms of population and money transfers, being able to provide local telephone numbers from Guatemala and low cost calling to and from the Central America region is a key part of the DigiLinea strategy. Guatemala represents roughly 1.5 Billion minutes of international calling traffic and 11% of all outbound international calling from the US to Latin America and is growing steadily due to immigration patterns. Guatemalans throughout the world will soon be able to take advantage of the DigiLinea VoIP platform to save money on their calling to their friends and family back home.
“Having local telecom licenses and being vertically integrated into the local Latin American markets is essential to be able to provide local Latin American telephone numbers and the competitive pricing that US Hispanic clients need. In most markets in Latin America, including Guatemala, the only way to legally provide VoIP services and telephone numbers is through acquiring local telecommunications licenses. DigiLinea is the only major VoIP player that is vertically integrated into Latin America with the ability to assign local telephone numbers from across the region and with local licenses to provide the VoIP products and services to Hispanics in the US and within Latin America on a legal basis.”
DigiLinea continues it’s unique focus on serving the VoIP needs of the US Hispanic market as this market has a much higher usage of telecommunications products and services then the average US consumer, making the switch to VoIP all the more attractive. DigiLinea will be announcing the granting of additional licenses in the near future.
