Following an announcement by the Prime Minister’s Office that telecoms sector entrant Green Gibraltar has not been granted a licence to operate or for spectrum use, the company yesterday said there was a possible “misunderstanding” when it last week announced it had been granted one.

“While government desires to maximize competition and welcomes investment of new entrants to the sector, and has indeed done considerable work on processing the application of Green Gibraltar Inc., we nevertheless note that there is a statutory process to be followed which is not yet complete,” a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister informed.
