The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) has accused the Public Utilities Commission of making accusations against the phone company without first determining if the contents are accurate.A release issued by the phone company,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, stated that this is an attempt by the PUC to seize a public relations advantage over GT&T, by gaining press coverage before they can respond to correct the record.The phone company was responding to press releases issued on Saturday,NFL Jerseys From China, in which the PUCcalled for a full disclosure from the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T) of its submarine project.The Commission had expressed the view that GT&T’s reply was “misleading to the Guyanese populace,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, to the business community, the State and the Regulator” about the project.In responding,Cheap Jerseys China, the telephone company described as “disturbing,” the PUC’s threat to recommend giving other international licenses in violation of Guyana law and GT&T’s license.“Does this mean that the PUC have given up on the ongoing negotiations between GT&T and the Government to obtain GT&T’s consent to relinquish its exclusive franchise at the end of next year?”The PUC’s licensing threat is especially curious,NFL Jerseys Cheap, since the PUC has no authority to issue an international license, the release noted.Giving a license to other international carriers will not prevent fibre optic cables from being cut in Suriname, which is what has happened in this case, the GT&T Public Relations office said.It added that giving a license to other carriers cannot stop unknown parties from engaging in “a campaign of tricks” against GT&T.To set the record straight, the release stated that there was a cut in the Americas-II cable connectivity on Thursday last, due to road construction in Suriname.The cut was repaired in four hours, it stated, but no voice communications were interrupted.“Full data connectivity also was preserved for subscribers whose services included redundancy feature. No national security issues were raised.”In addition, it was stated that the telephone company’s services in Regions 7,NFL Jerseys Supply, 8 and 10 were interrupted, due to an act of sabotage near Loo Creek on the Linden Highway.“We would note that the nation has experienced a series of severe electrical outages.?
