Mobile phone providers
At long last the T&T is appearing in the mobile market, but with no relief to the public. The view of the large number of people is that the rates & charges as announced by the government will only help keep up the high charges of the private companies, against public interest.
All these private mobile phone companies have minted money during all these years and whatever comparative low charges that we see nowadays is because of the competition with one another. They are not providing the service that we need.
Lastly, how efficiently and accurately the Vat is realised on the pre-paid cards of mobile phones is an important question. A huge number of pre-paid cards are sold all over the country every day and how the revenue department is keeping track of these sale proceeds should be known to the public.
