Prime Minister Mark Phillips on Friday presented a telecommunications licence to a new local tele-communications provider, Green Gibraltar.
A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) said the handover was done on Friday afternoon during a simple ceremony, where he said that he was happy to welcome the local company and that it was his hope that the increased competition in the local telecommunications sector results in better quality service to Guyanese.
“The PUC [Public Utilities Commission] will play its role to ensure that all the concerns within the sector by Guyanese are addressed and they will work with operators to ensure that better quality is arrived at within the shortest time,” Phillips was quoted as saying.
