C&W to pay Digicel in trade dispute
Bnamericas Published: Tuesday, November 02, 2004
The Barbados Fair Trading Commission has ruled that former incumbent operator Cable & Wireless Barbados (C&WB) must pay damages to its competitor Digicel under a retail pricing dispute, according to local newspaper The Jamaica Observer. C&WB launched a retail promotion offering cheaper international rates for its mobile customers in March and another in September for its fixed line customers. The reduced rates were not extended to Digicel's customers, who still must use C&WB's network to make international calls. C&WB must compensate Digicel for the amount it overcharged versus the amount it charged its own customers during the promotional periods. "Until such time as international services in Barbados are fully liberalized, consumers will not be able to enjoy the benefits of a competitive market," Digicel Eastern Caribbean CEO Kevin White was reported as saying.
