Trilogy International Partners, LLC is a public American wireless telecommunications company based in Bellevue, Washington. It is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Trilogy operates through its international partially-owned subsidiaries 2degrees in New Zealand.[1]
History
Trilogy was founded in 2005 by John W. Stanton, an American wireless businessman, and several associates.[2] The founders previously managed Western Wireless, an American wireless operator, that merged with Alltel in 2005 for $6 billion.[3]
Comcel Haiti, their company in Haiti, was sold to Digicel group in March 2012.[4] In 2015, Trilogy's Dominican Republic operations, Trilogy Dominicana (now Viva), were sold to Telemicro Group, a local firm.[5]
In 2017, Trilogy listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, through a take-over by a company on that exchange.[2] As part of this transaction, the company raised $270 million.
