Cellphone and Internet users in Barbados finally have some good news coming their way.
By the end of 2012, the rates they are currently paying should start to come down due to increased competition.
That was the claim made in the Upper House yesterday by Senator Darcy Boyce, Minister responsible for Telecommunications and Energy.
Boyce noted that because more players continued to enter the market, and with Government simply going through due diligence on a number of matters, there should be an across the board decrease in the price of telecommunications services and an improvement in their quality before the start of 2013, when the new companies opened their doors to local consumers, who have been pleading for lower rates.
The senator was speaking in the Upper Chamber yesterday during debate on an amendment to the Telecommunications Act 2012. (BA)
