Dear Editor,
First of all,I have to commend GT&T for its new and innovative marketing strategy with regard to the ‘emagine’ billboards project. Indeed, I was very much in suspense when I first saw it and was curious to know what was coming. Being a customer of both telephone companies (Digicel and GT&T), I view this as an ideal re-entrance to the local market by the latter.
As for the action by the authorities to have those billboards pulled down, it was one of the lowest levels to which they have gone. This particular action can cause the private sector to pull back from any potential projects that would have temporarily beautified the environment, and it will also be a loss of revenue for the council which usually grants permission and is badly in need of cash.
It is now evident that there are many axes to grind, and one has got to wonder from whom these orders are coming.
Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
