Hondutel

Hondutel is the trade name for Empresa Hondureña de Telecomunicaciones (Honduran Telecommunications Company), the state-owned telecommunications provider in Honduras. It was established in 1976. Hondutel provides a range of telecommunications services, including landline telephone, internet, and mobile services, although its market share has decreased due to competition from private companies. Historically, Hondutel held a monopoly over telecommunications services in Honduras, but the market has been liberalized, leading to increased competition. The company has faced challenges in recent years, including financial difficulties and infrastructure limitations. Hondutel plays a role in the Honduran economy and its telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in providing services to less accessible areas of the country.
