Rock Mobile Hits Govt Brick Walls
Rock Mobile, the telecommunications company which was granted a licence last year to operate locally, has disclosed some of its challenges in delivering improved broadband services across the island.
Bruce Bowen, Chairman of Rock Mobile, said on Monday that some of these relate to government provisions based on the terms of the agreement.
Rock Mobile is looking to supply mobile internet access to rural areas.
The terms of its licence include a requirement that it should begin operations within 12 months and provide the communities this service within two years.
But Mr Bowen said while the company is willing and ready and understands the procedures in government, he expected more to be happening by now.
