After years of being sidelined owing to poor telecommunications services, the Rupununi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) said it welcomes the move by the Irfaan Ali administration to liberalise the sector.
The Chamber said it appreciates and supports the decision and steps taken by the Government to liberalise the telecommunications sector in Guyana. It noted that Lethem and the wider Rupununi Region have been severely disadvantaged by the extremely poor and costly service given to the Region by telecommunication and internet service providers.
Despite using the mechanisms available for complaints, the RCCI said it have been largely ignored and sidelined for more lucrative developments across Guyana.
The Chamber said it looks forward to speedy closure of this significant development in the communications sector, so that the people in the far-flung areas can finally enjoy the technology available in this new decade.
