A new Digicel cell tower was commissioned on Saturday in Coomacka, Region 10 by Minister of Public Telecommunications Catherine Hughes, Chief Executive Officer of Digicel Gregory Dean, Chairman of the community Dexter Harding and other officials.

A statement from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said the tower  is expected to serve Coomacka and also the surrounding communities.

Hughes delivering the feature address described the establishment of the cell tower as a step in the right direction by Digicel. The Minister noted that “Digicel did not go to all these lengths just to bring you cell phone service, you will get a whole package. Great cell phone reception and most of all, the possibility of strong reliable internet connectivity.”
