- I saw an article in one of the trades (TE&M or Telephony) lately about
- Guyana's telephone service. A couple of years ago, it was purchased
- by the owner of Virgin Islands Tel. They've invested real money and
- are building pretty much a new network (since the old one was pretty
- worthless). It's already more than twice the size it used to be.
-
- Since these are an entrepreneurial sort, I suspect that they are
- quietly marketing their country code for such applications.
