Telemedia Accuses Smart of Trespassing
posted (November 26, 2009)

As we told you earlier, the PUC has ordered both BTL and Smart to renegotiate an agreement for the rental of BTL’s E-1 service. BTL sent out a release this evening saying that it has already provided Smart with two reasonable alternatives but has gotten no response.

BTL is accusing Smart of illegally installing a satellite dish on a rooftop at its corporate headquarters. The company release says that over the weekend, a Speednet employee somehow gained access to their Saint Thomas Street compound and installed the satellite dish on a rooftop. The satellite dish is allegedly what smart used to reconnect its international call service.

Telemedia says they discovered the breach yesterday and removed the satellite dish since it has no agreement for rental space on its rooftop.
