Dear Editor,
As I am hearing the various complaints against one of Jamaica's most steadfast investors, Digicel, I would like to make the point that all companies have to ensure that they remain profitable so that they can continue to employ Jamaicans and provide a good service.
Recently, their competitor, LIME, announced that it will be applying a special tax starting the first week in February. Essentially, all calls made from both landlines and mobiles will be taxed, as the company will no longer absorb it.
Since Digicel came to Jamaica, even the boys that push hand carts can afford a cellphone. But not only that, Digicel gives millions of dollars to help build Jamaica. The company just donated $1 million to the JCF for some special equipment and another couple million well to some community development projects in St Mary, St Thomas, Manchester and other parishes.
More people need to wake up and look at the bigger picture — where would Jamaica be now if Digicel had decided to invest in another country?
