 PROFILE
VeloCom is bringing high-velocity communications services to Latin America. Founded in 1998 as WLL International, the company offers competitive local-exchange services using wireless local loop, or fixed wireless, technology. Targeting businesses and residential customers in key growth areas in Latin America, VeloCom currently has operations in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. But an industry downturn forced the firm to cancel its planned IPO in 2000 and an attempt to buy the stake in Brazilian unit Vésper held by partner Bell Canada International (BCI) fell through in 2001. VeloCom investors include a unit of Banc of America Securities, Argentina's SLI Wireless, Denver-based Formus, and Telecom Partners.
