Over the weekend, the Demerarawaves online news said that Digicel had an aspect of their service interrupted due to a clampdown of that connection in neighbouring Suriname.
Today GTT called a press conference at the Herdmanston Lodge, to address the issue. The company’s CEO Justin Nedd said that his company is calling for the liberalization of the telecommunication sector and also for an equitable tax structure
According to Nedd, GTT has the capacity to carry the additional bandwidth that any and all of their competitors would need. The CEO said that as a result of Digicel not using their services, they would have lost 10’s of millions of US dollars.
The CEO also said that GTT would have been able to invest more in the development of their company if Digicel was paying them the service
Nedd said that GTT at one point carried the service of all the Guyana’s
C2 HLN asked Mr Nedd if what Digicel was doing with their service in Suriname was just a good business practice or if he thought it was illegal
