The FLOW merger was one big mistake. The problems with our landlines are unprecedented in my lifetime – over 60yrs.
We once had the best telephone service in the developing world. It was ruined by WTO ordered “liberalization”.
Now our safety is at risk because FLOW (a four letter word beginning with “F”) is unable to provide a reliable service for our Police Emergency number?
Wait until the first storm hits, all the cell towers go down and without electricity supply for the routers all our landlines are useless. Where will the emergency services get their information on damage, road obstruction/flooding and injuries with no telephones working?
Did no-one think of this when the merger was proposed, or were they influenced by the fact that it was a WTO advisor to the C’bean who helped write the legislation on “liberalization who wanted the merger to save his hide?
Don’t expect the emergency line to be up soon.
