I find it strange that out new “telecoms authority” Is giving digicel a free reign, but stifling logic from expanding and bundling services. Do they not understand the Digicel has and will throw exorbitant amounts of money around to destroy all competition… Just look what they have done to telecoms in Jamaica!
I thought companies with Bermudian employees would benefit from deregulation.But it now seems that Digicel are attempting to bury all local companies with their huge Jamaica profits. Come on Reg Authority make it fair. Save our jobs. Remember all this “cloud” service takes jobs and earning power offshore!
Yawn……
…Except… I saw on the news last week that Digicel was actually creating jobs and Bermuda has been chosen as a cloud hub. So it sounds like it’s actually bringing jobs and earning power to Bermuda, not away from here… there’s even a link in this article, but in case you missed it: http://bernews.com/2013/09/digicel-business-solutions-centre-opens-in-hamilton/
They are bringing guest workers not hiring locals.
