So with the strings of the public purse now demonstrably tied to Intelco, it means that the worse it gets for the other phone company, the worse it gets for you - and according to the UDP, it's about to get worse.
Citing an un-named PUC source, the UDP alleges that the PUC will be authorized to restrict the licenses given to Speednet and Intelco - limiting them to providing only local cell phone services.
According to the UDP, Jeffrey Prosser's BTL would enjoy a monopoly on all fixed line and long distance services. Additionally the UDP claims the PUC regulations will be adjusted to guarantee the Prosser gets his 15% rate of return.
We tried to reach PUC Chairman Gilly Canton for comment today - but he was in a meeting at BTL.
