The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) has voiced concern over E-Networks currently laying a subsea cable in the absence of necessary approvals, while warning that the operation could jeopardise its own services.
“GTT is very concerned that E-Networks is laying subsea fibre with complete disregard for necessary approvals and international protocols,” GTT Chief Executive officer Justin Nedd said in a statement yesterday.
More than a year after E-Networks was told by the Ministry of Public Telecommunications that it had not been licensed to lay and land a subsea cable, the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) earlier this month again placed a notice for mariners about the company’s cable laying project.
