The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) yesterday called on the government to initiate an independent investigation of what it says is an “illegal, unlicensed” cross-border link between Guy-ana and Suriname being facilitated by its competitor Digicel Guyana.
In a press statement issued yesterday, GTT said Digicel has acknowledged engaging in this illegal bypass activity at a recent meeting with the Public Utilities Commis-sion (PUC) and at other fora but has not been held to account by the relevant authorities.
Stabroek News attempted to contact Minister of Telecommunication Cathy Hughes for a comment on GTT’s claims and request but the minister’s phone went unanswered.
