We are also working closely with our local regulator, the Telecommunications Commission, to investigate the interference produced by network jammers that is impacting approximately 41% of our network. This issue was discovered and reported to the Commission on April 24th, 2024, and is significantly hampering the quality of services to our paying customers.”

Type approval in Turks and Caicos Islands
The TCICT approval in the Turks and Caicos Islands refers to the approval or authorization granted by the Turks and Caicos Islands Communications and Information Technology Commission (TCICTC). This commission is responsible for overseeing telecommunications, broadcasting, and other information technology-related matters in the territory.
Here are some areas where TCICT approval is typically required:
Telecommunications Licensing
Radio Frequency Use
Businesses and service providers wishing to operate in the telecommunications or broadcasting sectors must obtain
approval and licenses from the TCICTC.
Any individual or organization planning to use radio frequencies for communication, whether for commercial, scientific, or private purposes, needs to get approval from the TCICTC to ensure compliance with the regulatory framework.
Importing Telecommunications Equipment
Telecommunications Infrastructure
Certain telecommunications devices, such as radios, transmitters, or communication systems, may require TCICT approval before being imported or sold in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Those wishing to install or operate telecommunication infrastructure like cell towers, satellite systems, or network systems need the necessary authorization from TCICTC.
The goal of TCICT approval is to regulate and maintain high standards of communication services, ensuring that companies comply with legal, technical, and safety requirements to protect the public and the environment.
