'The Jamaican telecom market MUST be regulated in a way that enhances competition AND protects the consumer...'

[Don1]

Righteous.

But the informed ignoramuses were here spouting BS about Carlos Slim and his deal making... as if that's an agenda we should genuflect to...
The Jamaican telecom market MUST be regulated in a way that enhances competition AND protects the consumer...mek Carlos & Denis O'Brien dem learn dat.... Chawklit Tea wi seh...mek Latte guhwhey

It sounds like he is on a campaign to educate the general public about the real issues at stake.

i think he is preaching to the ignorant and misinformed... digicel has done an excellent job of making themself appear to be the be all and end all in mobile telecom in jamaica...

i was in jamaica for 8 days and not once did i meet a person with a lime phone... and when i unlocked my phone and needed a sim card, eveybody directed me to digicel... why, because it was cheaper for them to call me if i am on digicel and i could transfer credits and all the benefits of being on the same network... plain foolishness...

[Baddaz]

and i agree 100% with what he said... and, it tells me that you know about the telecom industry... in a previous post i said govt should eliminate the interconnect charges and let the companies compete on service and quality... eliminate, was meant in the context of the competition, since there are revenues generated for stakeholders (govt, investors, etc) with the charge... the interconnect should be the same for all companies and it would not be a weapon in any powerplay and be a barrier to additional entrants to the space... dehring has it right... service, quality, innovation, products, marketing should be where the battle is fought and jamaica and the jamaican consumers will be the beneficiaries...

there are next generation mobile systems on the horizon... imt-advanced that will make 4g look like dial up... jamaica telecom environment has to be such that companies can bring these technologies to the the people...

Oh, one your good friends? A well-thought out talk..but to whom is he preaching?

[Don1]

Perhaps

But just more proof that your analyses & prognostications are woeful & laughable failures ... not that any further proof was needed subsequent to Driva's colossal & embarrassing stupidities... But doan tap atall!!! LOL

[Muadib]

Clearly !

lol !

Him probably did guh good school..

[Don1]

The fellow has apparently been reading my posts and is parroting my line

YESTERDAY, a life-long dream of mine actually came true. I've finally got the chance to quote Mark Twain's famous line.
