The RA is a complete failure. They lack leadership, effective communication and direction. They ignore their own independent consultant reports. They work against industry not with them. They are influenced by a ex-PS that thinks his vision for regulation is actually effective in Bermda. Who actually is running the RA? The reality is that regulation of the telecoms sector has failed to improve service or cost compared to other jurisdictions. The RA will fail similarly with
Electricity, then fuel and then whatever else gets into their growing empire. With each new sector comes another 3-4 million dollars that Bermuda consumers have to pay. So yes, well done RA. Keep up the value added work !

“Market failure”? The only failure is the CE and the entire board of the RA. Complete ineptitude in carrying out their basic functions. Both telecom players are investing millions in the country and the RA can’t even finalize the market review that was supposed to commence in 2013. They since paid a consultant over $150,000 for a market review that was binned. Complete waste of money. Let’s just hope the PLP are wiser than the previous government to the RA’s complete uselessness.

This entity should be renamed the Energy or Power Regulatory Authority.

There are many regulatory authorities in Bermuda and this one entity having that name is confusing.
