Georgetown- If the telecommunications sector become liberalised, Digicel would be looking to provide direct international calls as opposed to calls being (routed) through GT&T. This is the moment Digicel is feverishly waiting for, as the company's CEO Gregory Dean dismisses what he calls blatant lies by rival GT&T. The local telephone company is accused of pulling a publicity stunt by implying that Digicel does not submit to all the regulations in place in the sector. Dean said GT&T is pulling a fast one to gain government’s sympathy so that the legislation to be enacted for the liberalisation of the telecommunication sector would be in its favour.
The CEO said: “In terms of some of the specific issues we take objection to – reporting financial information: GT&T, Digicel have the same statutory reporting systems, the main requirement we have is to provide monthly management accounts to the PUC that include details on financial performance, traffic, etcetera. Once the year is complete, we send them a full audited financial account, the same that GT&T does. I don’t understand why we seem to have this recurring theme that Digicel somehow operates under different statutory requirements to GT&T.”
