Flow files lawsuit seeking revocation of Digicel LTE licence

The telecommunications company which operates under the brand name Flow Grenada has filed a lawsuit against the National Telecommunications and Regulatory Commission (NTRC) and the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority (ECTEL), seeking to have the 700 MHz spectrum licence granted to Digicel to be revoked.

Public Utility minister, Gregory Bowen disclosed the information about the legal action to members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Without providing in-depth details about the claims in the lawsuit nor the date it was filed, Bowen said that Flow is claiming discrimination by the regulatory bodies because both telecommunications companies applied at the same time for the licence and only Digicel received approval.

Bowen explained to the House that the licence was granted to the Digicel operations first because it was able to engage in discussion with a smaller telecommunications company in Grenada which operates on the same frequency.

“LIME/FLOW/Liberty had a clash with Aislecom and discussion was encouraged,” said Bowen as he informed the House that Digicel came back first with an amicable resolution between itself and the small company.

The 700 MHz spectrum licence provides for Digicel to operate its recently launched Long-Term Evolution (LTE) service. This 4th-generation mobile technology service was launched by Digicel St Lucia in November, followed in Grenada in early December, and on Tuesday, 18 December in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

“Matters do take time in the court, but we hope that it will work out amicably,” said Bowen who informed the House that he felt it was important for customers to know about the development.

Digicel recently stated that their LTE service has an islandwide coverage of 92%.

    Flow Grenada- You need to take a good hard look at your service provision in Grenada, likewise your non existent customer services provision to your customers. Your lawsuit money can be put to better use by training staff to be more customer centred, upgrading and improving the current infrastructure to deliver a better service to Grenada and stop ripping the public off with your inflated prices for poor and substandard service… I guess now it’s either sour grapes or a bitter pill to swallow!!!
