It is crystal clear to anyone who uses a phone, or attempts to
access E-mail or Internet, that Belize Telecommunications Limited
(BTL), the people's monopoly communications service provider, is either
unwilling or incapable of delivering reliable access to any of the
above services. BTL is a company extremely rich in excuses and profits
but extremely poor in providing the basic services which we pay so
dearly for. It is time for the elected officials of our country (who
use another communications provider) to cancel BTL's communications
license due to their inability to provide the service for which their
license was granted, and allow a company that has the expertise to
provide these services to buy them out. Allowing other companies to
interconnect with the system in place will solve nothing and will only
compound the existing problems and multiply consumers' frustrations.
Anyone who is frustrated by the loss of income due to the
deplorable service of this communications provider should try to call,
or attempt to E-mail, Prime Minister Said Musa or the Public Utilities
Commission to register a formal complaint against BTL.
