  • Comment: Sources are just about the $5.3 million deal, not in-depth coverage of the subject. GrabUp - Talk 17:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: This could/should be a notable business, but the sources do not establish that, as none of them contributes towards WP:NCORP notability. I should probably be rejecting this outright, given the number of earlier declines and the fact that it has been resubmitted without any improvement, but let's give it one more chance.

History

[edit]
Liberty Latin America's Panama Operations Center

Liberty Latin America was founded in 2018 following the split-off from Liberty Global’s Latin America and Caribbean operations.[1] Before the split-off, Liberty Global made significant investments in operations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, including the acquisition of Cable and Wireless’ operations in 2015, valued at US$8 billion.[2][3]

In 2018, right after the split-off, Balan Nair was appointed CEO.[4]

In 2022, Liberty Latin America completed the acquisition of America’s Movil operations in Panama for $200 million.[5]
