This includes improving the company’s wireless presence in rural areas and by extension throughout the country.
He said that as the company awaits legislation, that will see more frequency spectrum allocated, they have nonetheless begun other infrastructural and customer services development.
“Part of the ‘doing more’ is fixing your land lines promptly, getting more Internet speeds, the other part of doing more is providing more devices, giving you better value, giving better quality care, providing more for our employees, doing rural development and providing more for Guyana as a whole,” he said.
“We want to bring 4G to Guyana and as soon as we get spectrum from the government we will do that,” he also stated.
Legislation on the telecoms sector has been pending for many years.

These guys (Cable and Wireless, Columbus Communications and Flow) have multimillion dollar data centres, so we better use their services and see what it can mean for our customers, here in Guyana, in a way to do more. It’s better than doing everything ourselves,” he said.
