History
editNorth Rock was launched in 1997 with a staff of three people offering dial-up Internet service. Over the next several years, the company developed one of the largest internet and telecommunications architectures, consisting of several data centres, a country-wide WiMax network, and a suite of telephony services.
Present
editAs of 2012, North Rock remains the only Bermudian-owned and operated internet service provider. Its chairwoman, Vicki Coelho, is involved in and regularly cited on matters of Bermudian telecommunications regulation.[3][4] It is currently facing increasing competition from foreign-owned entities, with Jamaica-based Digicel recently entering the internet services market.[5]
