Dear Editor,
Digicel came to Guyana in 2007; this service was in the Caribbean before for many years.
The Digicel Blackberry service worked, but it was very disappointing when Blackberry Apps was launched and we were slapped with a message that said in this part of the world you cannot get Apps World. It was a brutal slap in our West Indian faces.
Now that GT&T has started testing their BlackBerry service (it is fast, I have seen it at work), I have now seen that Blackberry Apps World has been released for everyone.
It now looks as if it took the real telecommunications giant, the Guyana Telephone & Telecommunication Comp-any to get this important part of the telecommunications industry released from research in motion.
Go GT&T; me and my friends cannot wait for that light at the end of the tunnel on 11.11.11. which will take off and give us all freedom of choice – I choose GT&T!
With all of the wonderful infrastructure of GT&T, why has the real telecommunications giant in Guyana not turned Georgetown into a Wi-Fi hotspot? Come on GT&T, you are on a roll, why stop now?
Yours faithfully,
Harold Hopkinson
