E-Networks cable being landed solely for broadcasting – ministry

The Ministry of Public Telecommunications (MoPT) last night said it was its understanding that a fibre-cable being landed here by cable service provider, E-Networks is to be used solely for broadcasting and therefore did not require its permission.

Questions have been raised about which government agency has permitted E-Networks to bring the cable here and under what law. No information had been forthcoming until last night’s statement from MoPT distancing itself from the arrangement.
