PHILIPSBURG--The TelEm Group is currently engaged in partnership talks with a new prospective partner as talks with Digicel bore no fruit.

Asked about the talks during a press conference on Wednesday, St. Maarten Communications Union (SMCU) President Ludson Evers said he could not go into details of the discussions, but noted that the company is talking to another prospective partner as the talks with Digicel have been completed and had been fruitless.

He declined to give the name of the prospective partner and also declined to go into any details when asked. However The Daily Herald understands that the partner is LIME.

LIME currently serves 13 markets in the region: Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Turks and Caicos Islands.

Prime Minister Marcel Gumbs recently declined to respond to questions from this newspaper regarding TelEm's current partnership talks.
