Great news. No sense giving the license to virgin as they will simply be using BTC's inadequate infrastructure and be a glorified reseller of BTC Minutes. Give it to the the only 100% Bahamian company, with great infrastructure in place, already 29% owned by the govt - Cable Bahamas. I expect in a few years Cable will overtake BTC and be the dominant cell provider in the Bahamas, I am tired of being abused and given poor service from BTC.

Tal my respect for you is growing everyday. Will you pledge to boycott Rubis?

I agree with you completely. I for one will boycott Rubis until this entire matter is revealed to the public and necessary health and environmental changes made - which in the Bahamas means I will be boycotting them forever as there is zero chance that will happen. Good riddance we do not need corporate slim balls like them anyway.

How did Jerome Fitzgerald vote? I suspect he was absent to save himself the embarrassment, just as he has been absent in protecting the people of marathon. He is a disgrace and does not have a shred of integrity left as he chose his political career and self interest over the health and lives of his constituents.

Then the police would investigate, and the attorney general would sit on the report and never bring charges.

We have sun, wind, and tidal options, not to mention through the processing of all our garbage, which would help alleviate the dump fires that are poisoning our people and environment. In the case of Costa Rica from the photograph you see a solar farm, we have the sun to produce a large percentage of our energy supply through 100% green, clean renewable energy. My point was not that it is easy, but that we do not even produce 1% from sun, wind, or tidal combined! That is vision less, and frankly irresponsible. We as an ecotourist nation should be like Costa Rica leading the way, rather than being stuck in the stone age with people like Mr. miller who simply offer excuses and very little solution or vision.

It is very interesting and telling that the attorney general's office sits ( hides ) a report for over a year that has an impact on the health and very survival of many bahamians, yet in a matter of days issues an unsolicited opinion on whether an auditor's report has to be tabled in parliament. It shows where her priorities are, certainly not on the health of bahamians, or on transparency and accountability. We deserve much better and she should be ashamed of herself.

Mr. Evans seems confused, contrary to his belief we do not live in a socialist country. I have a suggestion for Mr. Evans since he is so concerned about these workers, take his salary and give it to BTC so one job can be saved. It is easy to be generous with other people's money, let him lead the way and donate his income.

It is in question as to how independent URCA really is. What is not in question is that their rulings are inconsistent with their own regulations. This calls into question their competence and the rule of law. An URCA regulation is that a basic tv service provider must make a minimum rate of return on their product of 10.86 percent. Cable in an application for a price increase two years ago proved it earned considerably less on its basic tv, in fact the price had not increased in 20 years despite costs increasing substantially. Contrary to their own regulations and the rule of law URCA ruled against a price increase, in effect forcing cable to be in violation. A regulator rules that a telecom entity must be in violation of its own rules. No wonder URCA's independence and competence is in serious doubt.

These incompetent clowns are hindering this country, they have no vision. Costa Rica a small, third world, tourism centric country has for the last 80 days generated 100% of the country's electricity from renewable energy! B.E.C does not generate 1% from renewable energy, so we have load shedding, exorbitant costs, chronic pollution from burning bunker C oil and the list goes on. We need to have vison and start doing things in an intelligent way in this country, we can not afford these dumb, incompetent clowns who are stuck in the last century. Until we generate 1% from renewables Mr. miller should shut the hell up!
