Cable & Wireless asks for extended licence

 
Cable & Wireless has applied for its existing licence to be modified, which is a step towards better value landline, business line and broadband services in future.
A notice of Cable & Wireless's application for a modified telecommunications licence was published by the Communications Commission on Friday and sets out the details of the modifications.
The new licence would authorise Cable & Wireless to provide a full range of services across fixed and mobile telecommunications, but would not allow them to dig up roads in order to lay cables.
Simon Last-Sutton, Commercial Director of Cable and Wireless in the Isle of Man said:
"The granting of a licence extension will further increase the Isle of Man's competitiveness whilst giving local people more choice and value."
