Trinidad & Tobago telecom regulator intervenes as Digicel blocks VOIP apps on its network
The other telecommunication company – the Telecommunication Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) said that while it would not comment on the Digicel decision to block VOIP services, it described the service as an “inescapable” feature of modern telecommunications that is comparable to “e-mail and games”.
Earlier, the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad & Tobago said it has so far received several complaints from Digicel customers over the issue and the matter will be raised with the cellular carrier.
“The regulator recognizes the concerns of both consumers and Digicel in this matter and would like to advise the general public we intend to raise these concerns with Digicel and seek clarification of these concerns.”
“The regulator is in the interim conducting its own investigation into the matter and on completion of its investigation will articulate its position and take any further action that may be required,” the release stated. -(CMC)
