The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) today ordered Digicel Guyana to pull all advertisements featuring the new lowered international calling rates which the company had instituted following a decision by Justice Rishi Persaud in a case against the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T).
An official of the PUC made the disclosure. Digicel failed to inform the PUC about the rate reductions of up to 88 percent on international calls leading the Commission to request information from the company on the rate changes. All rate adjustments must be cleared by the PUC according to the Telecommunications Act.
In addition, GT&T has secured an interim injunction prohibiting Digicel from advertising the new rates.
