    Well if you look at it technically, Claro came here and were Lame in there Offering and Promotions,.. with the amount of money they had they could have blown Digicel out the water with some very good strategic planning,.. But instead they just hide in the shadows as if they were just waiting to be bought out lol ...

    Carlos is a Business man still set to make money .. Good move this him mek still ... lol .. Pocket even nicer after this..

    apart from the surprise factor, nothing really astonishing about this venture.

    No doubt discussed by 2 very wealthy men over milk and cookies.

    Hey, we have the market here...we'll take it off your hands, you have the market there...take it off our hands. (B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S)

    win win for everybody if you ask me. The tell tale signs of the intelligence of Mr. Slim.

    Headlines like this is why is he still the RICHEST man in the world

    Thanks for nothing Claro. Digicel Fanboys will realize soon enough that this is real bad news for consumers. We forget that Claro only came to Jamaica to upset Digicel's Cash cow as a means of slowing Digicels expansion into Latin America. Claro has never had any interest in Jamaica but only used Jamaica to upset Digicels Revenue stream. As we can see the ploy worked as the deal is based on Digicel pulling out of Honduras and El Salvador I guess we can soon kiss lower prices good bye.

    Claro Never Came to compete but just to pressure Digicel by lowering margins. So we are now left to an incompetent, uncompetitive Lime and a now much stronger Digicel. I don't see how there is a positive in this for consumers.

    Those with keen insight will see that if anybody has lost here it has no doubt been the consumers of Jamaica

    Lime should quit their mobile service and focus on internet.

    Flow and Dekal got them in that department. Too little too late if you ask me. Lime should quit all together. Make digicel and flow an offer they cant refuse
