ESTESA
ESTESA, abbreviated from Estaciones Terrenas de Satélite, was a Nicaraguan cable television company established in the early 1990s and was acquired by Claro in 2008 (ESTESA's services continue under Claro's brand name).
History
[edit | edit source]The Pellas family founded ESTESA in 1989.[1] Its initial offer consisted of just 12 channels.[2]
In 2003, ESTESA acquired all of its competitors in Managua and expanded its fiber network.[3] The company set up a new communication center in March 2007, with the aim of starting digital telephony and digital cable.[4] By 2008, ESTESA had 90 channels available in 11 departments.[2]
In August 2008, Claro, owned by telecom magnate Carlos Slim, acquired the entirety of ESTESA.[5] Its subscriber base moved to that of Claro, which was formerly ENITEL. The new brand name was adopted in 2009.[3]
