Dear Editor,
In 2012 I applied for a landline phone service and met a GTT official who assured me that the phone service would be made available. Five years later I am still without a phone, though some residents in the scheme have received services. I live in the housing scheme in Clonbrook Village. As a single parent who works in Georgetown, with my son preparing for CXC, it is very difficult and expensive to depend entirely on a mobile phone which on occasion has to be charged.
I recently saw the CEO of GTT proposing the expansion of services to the hinterland. It would be very heartening since my son wrote Common Entrance without the tools of the internet, if I could hope that for CXC he could have these necessary items to support him, rather than uncomfortable paid visits to internet cafés.
Yours faithfully,
Shivana Raghunandan
