laqtel
tstt - laqtel howevr would have a better relationship... epect to see tstt cdma and cheaper rates between tstt and laqtel phones. this is because laqtel is erally targeting businessmen and tstt is targeting the rest of trinidad
he said once laqtel’s technology and infrastructure are in place, there was no reason why laqtel could not compete effectively with digicel or any other entity within the regional telecom market. laqtel has made arrangements with sasktel international of canada and nortel to assist with operations and equipment .
citizens of trinidad and tobago some questions / statements: 1. why has tatt allowed laqtel to continue with operations? 2. laqtel has not paid employees since december 2006. 3. why hasn' t the media exposed laqtel? people are suffering at that company. please assist .
laqtel also plans to offer business customers secure mobile access to corporate data networks from any wireless device .
this again... laqtel. i thought this dead. i gave up on them long time ago .
he stressed that laqtel was a private company which had nothing to do with the government or the ruling party .
company director vijay seegobin meanwhile said laqtel has invested a total of us $ 100 million to establish its local cellular network .
laqtel selected nortel to build an advanced wireless system for residential users, brampton, ont. - based nortel said friday .
laqtel has also forged a partnership with standards distributors / ansa mcal which will provide distribution through a national network of retail outlets .
scoon said a new laqtel chairman would be appointed soon and the company expects to have its network up and running before year’s end .
but laqtel is
very, very confident
of being one of the two companies chosen, said dr joseph laquis, a medical doctor who is listed in the company' s proposal as a consultant. the selection of laqtel will mean disappointment for either digicel or cingular .
laquis' confidence also stems from the fact that laqtel intends to deploy a third generation cdma 2000 ixev - do voice and data wireless system .
cash - strapped telecommunications provider laqtel ltd yesterday pleaded guilty to failing to post a $ 4 million performance bond with the telecommunications authority (tatt) .
tatt has also noted that laqtel had failed to launch its mobile network and mobile services by the deadline of december 30, 2006. however, tatt said that based on “representations” made to the authority by laqtel about its progress in organising its business it would not penalise the company for this failure at this time .
laqtel was required to post the bond under the terms of a concession granted to it by tatt for the operation of a public domestic mobile telecommunications network and public domestic mobile telecommunications services. the bond was to guarantee that laqtel lived up to the obligations of the concession, which was granted on on december 31, 2005 .
laqtel’s corporate secretary vijay seegobin yesterday appeared before magistrate maureen baboolal - gafoor in the port - of - spain fifth magistrates court where the matter came up for hearing .
tatt said it has been patient with laqtel, writing the company several times to remind it to pay the bond. tstt said it could not wait any longer .
politics never influenced the telecommunications authority of trinidad and tobago (tatt) to award a us $ 9 million cellular phone licence to new local telecom company, laqtel .
during a raid by the regulator at the offices of laqtel over the weekend, police seized goods worth around us $ 970, 000 - being the outstanding fine amount .
scoon said laqtel’s objective is to provide 95 to 98 percent coverage of tt and to compete within the region for cellular phone services once its local network is fully established .
the authority said laqtel must meet “clear and precise deadlines” in respect of rolling out its mobile network and said it would review its position on or after december 31, 2007 .
there was article about laqtel in the newspapers a few days ago and i think that their headquarters on sackville street' s up for sale by the bank again ...
laquis remarked that while laqtel was negotiating with tstt, other companies were out spending money to buy land and applying to the planning authorities for permission to put up cell sites .
laqtel was initially financially backed by a group of local investors who were awarded one of the first mobile licenses - by the telecommunications authority of trinidad and tobago (tatt) on july 5, 2005. the licenses awarded to laqtel and one other bidder formally began the process of mobile competition in trinidad and tobago alongside the incumbent telecommunications monopoly provider tstt .
the entry of laqtel and digicel into the local mobile and wireless market place was heralded by many in trinidad and tobago as the official start of competition in the local wireless industry .
addressing a news conference at the crowne plaza yesterday, scoon dismissed suggestions that political connections between some of laqtel’s key players and the ruling pnm helped the company win its cellular phone licence .
another canadian company, saskatchewan telecommunications international has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with laqtel to provide the commercial launch of the network as well as operations maintenance and on - going network optimisation .
laqtel, which started operations in march 2002, was chaired by late pnm treasurer anthony jacelon and included on the company’s board of directors are pnm women’s league head and party vice - chairman magna williams - smith (who has acted as a temporary government senator) and former pnm san fernando west candidate dr anthony elias. former pnm government minister joseph laquis is an investor in laqtel .
describing laqtel as the first locally - owned company to obtain a licence to provide domestic mobile phone services in tt, scoon said laqtel was formed with the objective of becoming the nation’s premier provider of integrated information and communications services, for the benefit of ordinary citizens and local entrepreneurs and
our plans call for providing employment for approximately 500 persons (200 direct, 300 indirect) .
laqtel communications was successful in its submitted bid along with the one other candidate namely: digicel. these two companies were chosen to form the initial process of competition in t & t’s wireless landscape .
last month, the tatt awarded cellular phone licences of us $ 16 million and us $ 9 million to irish telecom giant digicel and laqtel — effectively ending tstt’s monopoly of the local telecommunications sector .
on wednesday, digicel and local telecommunications outfit laqtel were awarded us $ 25 million licences (us $ 19 million for digicel, us $ 9 million for laqtel) by the telecommunications authority of tt (tatt) which effectively ended tstt' s 26 - year - monopoly of the local telecommunications sector. tatt chairman dr ralph henry said the authority would make recommendations next week to public administration and information minister dr lenny saith that concessions be given to digicel and laqtel. dr saith will take these concessions to cabinet for approval, and both companies will have to negotiate interconnection agreements with tstt .
tatt accused laqtel of committing an offence under section 65 (b) of the telecommunications act 2001, by failing to provide the authority with the performance bond as required by condition a13 of its concession .
laqtel expects to achieve a 25 per cent market penetration within five years and is predicting that the monthly churn (the number of people to leave the incumbent) will be three per cent per month .
he had no hesitation, however, in stating that laqtel intends to work
very closely
with tstt as it has already begun negotiations to co - locate its cell sites on tstt' s towers .
toronto (cp) - laqtel, a new telecom operator in trinidad and tobago, has awarded a $ 50 - million - us contract to nortel networks for a third - generation wireless network of mobile broadband services .
the concession also required that laqtel post a performance bond in the amount of $ 4 million to secure the performance of its roll - out obligations under the concession. that bond was to be posted by 14th january 2006 .
^ yea i cant wait. and it not only tstt playin d @ $ $. digicel friggin up wit free net i hea laqtel fire dem workers not put dem on
no pay leave
... ...
on the issue of rates, laquis said while it may be difficult to calculate the rate structure before the cost of the spectrum is known, he expects that laqtel' s rates will be 40 per cent lower than the current tstt rates .
last september the regulator laid charges against laqtel for its failure to post the performance bond and last november, a legal ruling fined the company us $ 150, 000 plus a futher us $ 10, 000 per day until the fine was paid .
asked from where the laqtel shareholders would source $ 190 million, laquis said ,
i am not at liberty to reveal where the money is coming from, except to say that we have lined up three very well known commercial banks to provide us with financing .
2. when digicel and laqetl are up and running, you think you gonna want to use ur digicel or laqtel phone to call a tstt person? ? hello no... because the charge between companies is gonna be so expensive that the whole idea would be dumb
this was the declaration yesterday by acting chairman steven scoon who said that all citizens of tt would be able to buy shares in laqtel to ensure that
the wealth of the country remains in local hands and is shared for the benefit of all the people of tt .
prior to the tatt announcement of which companies received licenses, both digicel and cingular wireless had announced a deal where digicel will acquire from cingular their entire caribbean and bermuda - based wireless networks and licenses, thus leaving only laqtel and digicel as new entrants for trinidad and tobago .
the license has required, among other things, that laqtel launch a public domestic mobile telecommunications service with coverage of 50% of the geographic area of trinidad and tobago on or before 30th june 2006, increasing to 70% by 31st december 2006, and further to 98% coverage by 30th december 2009 .
the telecommunications authority of trinidad and tobago has terminated the mobile phone license which had been held by laqtel. the company was granted a license for blocks of spectrum in the 800mhz and 1900mhz bands at the end of 2005, but has had problems raising funds to pay for the license and roll out its network .
although the regulator had internally agreed to cancel the operating license in january, laqtel had appealed in february saying that it had secured new funding. the company was given until 10th march to comply with its obligations - but evidently was unable to raise the necessary funds in time, and the license has been cancelled .
yeah the cdma phone selection is kinda gay... . gsm is used worldwide... . i feel that laqtel is a more niche market though... . and btw it is going to be run temporarily by foreign people... who have experience in the' breaking in' of the mobile phone market
tatt will now make recommendations to public administration and information minister dr lenny saith to award concessions to digicel and laqtel, and saith will take the recommendations to cabinet for final approval. scoon is optimistic that this approval would be given within the next two months. government sources said there was no reason why approval should not be granted .
laqtel communications was successful in its submitted bid along with the one other candidate namely: digicel. these two companies were chosen to form the initial process of competition in the wireless landscape of trinidad and tobago. the further three bidders for licenses: nattel, cingular wireless and telkom caribe were the other providers that were unsuccessful in this licensing round .
i am really frustrated how far we have progressed with internet. while the majority of the population still uses dialup, which is slower than a turtle, by now we should have had 1mb connnection for the least. i have used for almost 8yrs or more and to me, dialup have way outlived it past. i heard from the gravevine that laqtel is expected to launch september and if they do launch, we should be getting 3mb connection with its ev - do service. if they do not launch september, well all i have to tell people who are waiting for wireless broadband is to hear or look out for wimax, cdma or umts. if you hear any company launching these services, then we in business. i really hope laqtel launch and i also hope it is really worth the wait with them... ... .
i figured it' s time people decide on which mobile service provider they should side with for reasons ither than
tstt is mc thief !
, so take a couple minutes to read this article on the advanges and disadvantages with cdma and gsm. cdma is the platform being used by laqtel. of course you must keep in mind that this is just 1 article and just the opinion of 1 group, there are bound to be others who both agree and disagree .

i read about them in the papers not to long ago, i think they are just a few million short of the money they need to launch. they apparently sent home a few of their workers on no pay leave because they claim that they do not have the resources to pay them at present but they will remain a valuable asset to the company and hence they were not fired. i wonder how exactly they making money right now? anybody knows? nobody have a padner working in laqtel to give us some info? lol .
just imagine we could of gotten 4mb wireless wimax internet from sprint already. instead we are like sitting ducks wondering if laqtel was actually a isp or a laundry shop. by the way blitz, speaking of vision 2020 i heard from you know the guy in the guardian newspapers business section who always complaining about we internet crisis in trinidad every week and how we are no where? well this guy said that with the rate we are going with internet in trinidad that in order to reach vision 2020 we will have to wait till about 2060. man it seems that i might be grandpa before we even see anything higher than 512k internet in trinidad .
the company has been given until october 11, 2007, to make a plea in mitigation before being sentenced .
if found guilty, the company could be fined $ 250, 000 and sentenced to five years imprisonment .
the section of the telecommunications act, under which the charge was laid, also provides for a further fine of $ 10, 000 a day for each day the offence continues after conviction .
attorney sean cazabon has been appointed special prosecutor to prosecute the case on behalf of tatt, while mark rawlins appeared for the telecommunications company .
according to tatt, the bond should have been posted by january 14, 2006 .

the company' s anonymity changed, however, when it emerged as a bidder for one of two cellular concessions the government intends to grant next year .
by virtue of their size and established regional presence, digicel and cingular wireless are seen as frontrunners in the race for the two cellular concessions .
part of laquis' confidence
is based on the fact that we feel we have put together the best consortium .
the other consultants are former utc executive director henry sealy, roy mitchell (public relations) and eastman and associates (human resources) .
laquis said the company' s board is chaired by prominent attorney, anthony jacelon .
questioned about the political complexion of the board, laquis remarked that he had been a member of the pnm for 31 years ,
so it stands to reason that my friends are pnm .
there is no way someone of anthony lacelon' s integrity would have accepted the chair of this company without knowing that it was a worthy venture and an admirable national cause ,
said laquis .
the technology will be provided by nortel which expects to launch the system in april next year. nortel networks, the canadian telecom equipment giant, will be responsible for all engineering, installation and commissioning of the network .
cdma, laquis argues, is a reliable cellular system which would provide a stronger signal and better reach than gsm, a second generation technology .
laquis out the cost of establishing a national cdma system in t & t; at between us $ 80 and us $ 100 million .
this will be financed by 30 per cent equity and 70 per cent debt which means the shareholders of the company have to come up with between us $ 24 million and us $ 30 million or close to $ 190 million .
those who have more money may not have more brains ,
said laquis, adding that the fight was a straight case of a small company (david) taking on two large companies (goliaths) .
that means that if your bill is now $ 100, it will drop to $ 60 .
laquis, 59, said the company also intends to apply for the rfps for the fixed wireless cable and the internet service .
he also remarked that putting together the cellular rfp cost the company $ 3 million .
that was plenty of money for us to go into a venture we weren' t even sure we would get ,
said laquis, adding that he was certain that the process of selection would be
perfectly transparent

instead of giving our money to some forienger, i prefer to some local guys rich... atleast that way the money would stay in the country, and in the long run generate a higher gdp
i make relatively the same amount of calls i only call land lines for the unlimited, i call mobile just as b4 smart choice (important or emergency only and i don' t stay long), now i resort to calling mobile from my mobile .
and its not just me my friend b / f told her the same was happenig took off his package. .
smart choice is not for everyone, i have it and it working well so far. oats, your mistake was making the same amount of mobile calls as b4, use your own cell if you hadda call mobile .
though i maite get flamed, the smartest thing to do would be to stay to tstt .
the best bet is to get phones and phone numbers from each company and get callls in network for each company... . but that would cost quite a bit of money and i dont think the population would want to carry around 3 phones all of the time... .
i dont want to give up gsm atm, cdma could haul. is there a cdma p910 / 900 / 800 ?
digicel - the'' in
people... always cool and hip with the young crowd. expect to see great

irish telecommunications giant digicel yesterday said its entire cellular network in trinidad and tobago would be fully operational within 12 to 18 months, but hinted that it could be able to provide cellular phone services to the population before christmas .
digicel declined to say if local cellular phone prices would drop now that it has entered tt' s telecommunications sector, but its entry into other telecom markets in the region has resulted in a drop in cellular phone prices in those jurisdictions .
addressing a news conference at home construction ltd' s long circular mall offices in st james yesterday, digicel tt ceo sinead o' marcaigh said digicel plans to be fully operational within a 12 to 18 month period. she explained that this meant that its mobile phone service should be operational either before christmas 2005 (best case scenario) or by the second quarter of 2006 (worst case scenario) .
o' marcaigh declined comment on rumours of an imminent price war between digicel and tstt for control of the cellular market, saying only that digicel will be
very competitive
in the range of services that it plans to offer to the people of tt, and that those services will be up to world standards .
tstt officials also dismissed price war rumours with digicel, saying price was not the only factor influencing competitiveness in the telecom market and tstt was prepared to deal with the sector' s liberalisation .
o' marcaigh said tt was one of the region' s most lucrative telecom markets, reports of crime in tt never influenced digicel' s decision to do business here and digicel would do its part to help government achieve its vision 2020 objectives to build a knowledge - based society in tt through its participation in the local telecommunications sector .
she echoed digicel chairman denis o' brien' s praise for government' s decision to liberalise tt' s telecom market, saying this was vital if tt was to successfully pursue initiatives such as establishing port - of - spain as the headquarters of the free trade areas of the americas secretariat .
