Millicom International Cellular S.A., often known simply as Millicom, operates at the vibrant crossroads of mobile and broadband services across Latin America and Africa. Born from a Swedish heritage in 1990, it quickly expanded its reach by positioning itself in emerging markets where the hunger for connectivity was palpable. As the world moved deeper into the digital age, Millicom rode the wave by offering services under the brand name 'Tigo', transforming it into a household name in the regions it serves.

This blend has enabled Millicom to become a pivotal player in its operating regions, contributing to local economies and uplifting communities with enhanced digital access.

Millicom makes its money primarily through subscriptions and service fees from its telecommunications offerings. It isn’t just about moving data packets across networks; the company strategically focuses on bundling services such as mobile voice, high-speed internet, and pay-TV, which not only ensures customer retention but also drives revenue growth. Additionally, it monetizes through business solutions and financial services, like mobile financial services (MFS), creating a diverse stream of income. This multifaceted approach allows Millicom to capitalize on rising demands for digital services, continually investing in expanding its infrastructure to support the increasing bandwidth needs while vying to stay ahead of competition in the rapidly evolving digital landscapes of Latin America and Africa.
