New Blue mobile network

[pugboy]

to do mvno you would need to buy time off another network, unlikely then
back then it was only tstt and then the long protracted lawsuit which stopped all competition for years
tstt used to real push back against any competition attempts at deregularization

if i recall correctly there were a few groups who were looking to bid, at least 3 or 4 apart from tstt
CCN tv6 was the one who started the lawsuit, they all would have partnered with a foreign company to hit the ground running
everybody was eager to start seeing how digicel jamaica had overtaken the cable and wireless jamaica
and was making money there

by the time the lawsuit was done all the others never bothered as the landscape changed

Laqtel was completely local?

Some archive Googling shows that Laqtel and Digicel were the final "other mobile network" contenders out of a list and actually get through with a CDMA license in 2005, but everything was shutdown and seized in 2008 because they like they run out of money and couldn't back it or pay all the TATT fees and fines. Don't know if their plan was to build their own infrastructure, or do the MVNO.

Laqtel wasn't a JV between one of the Laquis' and some Palestinian telecoms company called Paltel?

Laqtel did receive their license and was going to build their own CDMA 1x/EVDO network (The competing standard with GMS/UMTS). They were however unable to pay outstanding bonds and court fines so their license got revoked before the could launch.

Star Network CEO evicted after failed launch

But what exactly is that fine print?

Here’s what it is:

It’s not a separate mobile entity. Rather, Star is using sims from Digicel for its devices which would run on the Digicel network.

The Sunday Guardian understands that Les Pierre secured 10,000 Digicel sims for the phones.

Customers who choose to acquire the devices at $1, would be signed on to a subscription service which they would have to pay for monthly. The $1 would be the initial cost of hardware only. So, the full cost of the device would be covered over time with the cost of the subscription. Ultimately, Digicel is the end provider service on either device.

The hardware–the phones and laptop–are manufactured by an “Asian” firm specifically for Les Pierre. The software is provided by Microsoft’s affiliate PC Clinic. He did not disclose the exact location or company from which it is being sourced.

The “fine print” was not made public or disclosed to customers in the company’s release.

Instead, the press release led customers to believe that there was a third mobile operator with devices for $1.

Who is Keron Les Pierre?

Les Pierre acknowledged that there was scepticism about the operation in the public domain, and he had heard the descriptions of himself as a “con man” and a “smartman”.

Instead, he describes himself as “a visionary and an entrepreneur.”

He only 'prospering' because of double down culture.
Back in the days just one public disgrace and you were done. Now you act like an unrepentant lolcow, blame your behaviour and business failures on haters and the woke movement and you'll be scamming people well into your eighties.

Blue waffle network could skin they ass and haul it.
