Jamaica poised to bolster sector with new legislation

Jamaica’s lower house has approved amendments to the nation’s telecoms regulation that will give the sector regulator, the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) greater powers. The bill is expected to be considered by the upper house later this week before the governor general gives final approval for the alterations to pass into law. According to local press reports, ICT Minister Phillip Paulwell said that following the implementation of the new legislation, customers could expect to see a ‘massive’ drop in call rates, as the OUR flexes its regulatory muscles.
