Dear Editor,
It seems like daily in Guyana we are being subjected to increase in prices every way you turn, the latest shock and downright disrespect for citizen comes from GTT. All the major news outlet published stories with lower rate, faster speeds and no justification was given for the bronze plan raise of rates for an embarrassing speed of 1.5mbs which ironically you don’t get. So, in actual fact, we were already paying for inferior service, and now we are faced with an increase and what is even more shocking, GTT fully well knows that the majority of areas cannot get more than the bronze plan of 1.5Mbs.
I am a great admirer of Minister Cathy Hughes and I don’t want to discredit her portfolio, but it seems like the liberalization of the telecommunication sector was one big farce, while I know that negotiations with GTT is ongoing, when will it end? What is the intended outcome? Who will benefit? And when the telecommunication body will be set up to manage the sector and allow competition?
While the government is fine tuning and publicly expressing words like bridging the technology gap, their actions and outcome tells another story. We the greatest assets of both GTT and the government are left in the backward technology wasteland, and are compelled to pay higher rates to a company that does not care of its consumers but just the bottom line.
