Prime Minister Samuel Hinds told the National Assembly at Thursday’s sitting that government is seeking to continue

on-going talks with the two phone companies, Digicel and Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company that is crucial to moving the bill forward.
On-going talks have resulted in the postponement of the second reading of the bill on several occasions.
