The Tribune

The majority of voters in The Tribune’s online poll say Cable and Wireless (CWC) benefited the most from the government’s recent BTC deal.

In January, two per cent of BTC was transferred to a new foundation to benefit Bahamians.

This change meant the government would now hold 49 per cent of BTC, the foundation two per cent and CWC 49 per cent.

Despite those figures, 82 per cent of Tribune poll voters said Cable and Wireless got the best deal. 11 per cent said the Bahamian people came out on top, with just seven per cent saying the government came out best.

Commenting on the issue, ‘marrcus’ said: “Bahamian people won because the government can’t take over day to day operations.

“And that ain’t true for just the Bahamas, truth be told, governments all over the world are inept, leave it to the private sector.”

While ‘B_I_D_’ strongly disagreed: “Some people are truly delusional if they think the Bahamian People or the Government got the better deal.

“This nation is screwed because people cannot see past their own noses.”
