Even though the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) yesterday retracted its application to withdraw its phone box service to 18 interior communities, representation was made by members of the public who said that not only is there a need for the service but there is also a need for improvements.
The hearing by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) of GTT’s application to cease public phone box services in 18 areas – Baracara, DeVeldt, Gateroy, Ikuruwa, Sand Hills, Kimbia/Ebini, St. Lust/Wiruni, Calcuni, Coomacka, Rockstone, Lower Coomacka Mines, Ararika, St. Monica, Acquero, Zeelandia, Capoey, Bethany and Kaieteur Park – was due to begin yesterday.
But the company withdrew the application at the last moment.
