New networking solution and lower mobile rates

Telecommunications is one of the most fundamental elements in modern business. That is why the last news from Cable & Wireless and CCT Global Communications cannot but please local people as well as those having business connections to the BVI.

CCT Global Communications is the sole mobile telecommunications provider in the British Virgin Islands and the company that offers advanced digital voice and data network in the Caribbean. The company has lowered its rates for BVI customers (almost 10 000 people). Rob Lyons, CCT General Manager, has announced lowering GSM Flexphone rates by 60%. The lower mobile rates took effect on 1 September 2006.

It is worth mentioning that in less than a year this is already the 3rd time the company has reduced its rates. In March, it was announced that incoming cell phone to cell phone calls would be free. The 2nd announcement was that long distance rates would be lowered by 60%. Also, it should be noted that CCT Global Communications has never raised its rates in company's history.

Another giant of communications industry, Cable & Wireless, has recently announced fine-tuning and preparing numerous exciting products and services that would be introduced to the British Virgin Islands. Cable & Wireless will offer Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) solution to meet the priorities of its customers. Now, customers will be able to run more applications including voice, over one network of converged data services.

The company invested more than USD 10 million in the MPLS network, and currently Cable & Wireless is planning to continue investing in this new-generation network for providing world-class services.
