Viya is a telecommunications company that provides landline, mobile telephone, Internet, and cable television services in the United States Virgin Islands. Viya is a subsidiary of ATN International. Prior to its acquisition by ATN, it was formerly known as VITELCO, then later on as Innovative Communications Corporation. In 2015, Choice Communications, a subsidiary of ATN, purchased Innovative for $145 Million,[1] and it completed the sale on July 1, 2016.[2] In 2017, ATN merged both Innovative and Choice to form Viya.[3]
Viya owned the Virgin Islands Daily News until 2008, when it was purchased by Times-Shamrock Communications. Viya formerly operated cable TV services in Sint Maarten until October 2016, when it was acquired by the TelEm Group.[4] They also had formerly operated cable TV services in the British Virgin Islands as well, until their cable systems were destroyed by Hurricane Irma on September 6, 2017.[5]
On April 24, 2025, Viya’s current CEO Siobhan James-Alexander, announced that the company rebranded as One Communications, at a launch event that took place in St. Thomas.[6]
