Digicel hopes that legislation terminating the monopoly hold which its competitor has on the telecommunications sector will be passed during the course of this year, though the company’s Chief Executive Officer Gregory Dean says it will not set a timeline for an end to the monopoly.
“We’ll believe it when we see it,” Dean told Stabroek Business in an interview on Wednesday. Dean said that since all of the stakeholders had pronounced on the desirability of terminating the monopoly currently held by the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) he could think of no reason for any further delay in the passage of the legislation, though he conceded that “we had been there before”
