(Jamaica Observer) Tele-communications ministers from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) are to meet to discuss ramifications of the planned merger of the British telecommunications company, Cable and Wireless and Columbus Communications Intern-ational.
St Lucia’s Telecom-munication Minister Dr James Fletcher the members of the Eastern Carib-bean Telecommunications Authority will meet for the talks, which he described as are crucial given the fact that the recent merger is a source of grave concern to the entire region.
The talks are expected to result in the Eastern Caribbean Telecommuni-cations Authority formulating proposals from the merger announced two weeks ago.
Director General of the OECS Commission, Dr Didicus Jules, is also expected to attend the meeting, which is being held amidst several concerns about the monopolisation of the delivery of internet services.
