Dennison stressed that the PUC has a central role to ensure that there is competition within the market as regulators.

"I don't want to lose the role of PUC in this. They put out a real nice release saying that they are going to be looking at market dominance and so let us be very clear. I think the man is a lawyer. Go back and read the legislation, sir, and understand, start with the pre-angle of the telecoms act and understand that competition is where you start right? Don't ask the Belizean people what they think about a dominant position. You go and you do what the law says you must do in order to determine whether or not they are dominant. And understand and appreciate that your role sir is not to create a dominant actor and then regulate it. Your role is to create the market environment so that competition thrives and in a situation where through competition one dominant provider kills the competition fair and square that is where your power to regulate and price cap ought to come in. So don't."
"Come to us sir, and, sirs at the PUC like you are helping the Belizean people. If you want to help us, the help we want is competition and where competition results in one player, then you regulate them."
