History
Founded in 1883 as All America Cables & Radio Dominican Republic (an ITT subsidiary), the company was the country's first telecom to offer telegraph services to the Antilles.
In January 2000, Centennial Communications purchased 70% of the company, forming Centennial Dominicana.[1] The company later launched a CDMA2000 network and provided Internet services over EVDO.
On November 24, 2006 Centennial Communications announced that they were selling 100% of Centennial Dominicana to Trilogy International Partners for US$80M.[2] In April 2008, Centennial announced a rename to Viva and launched their GSM/GPRS/EDGE network.[3]
