Local telecommunications company SAT Telecoms celebrated its 10th anniversary by launching new products to the public.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer of the company Marlon Alexander told the anniversary ceremony at the Fort Young Hotel last night that the company\u2019s journey was not easy.<\/p>\n

Alexander said that SAT has been transformed into a fully digital telecommunications provider as it will now offer digital television, internet and telephone services within the upcoming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnalog systems will be no more and SAT will no longer be transmitting to you in analog,\u201d Alexander proclaimed. \u201cEvery customer will be able to choose which package he desires and at what price that suits their budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSAT has no intentions of raising its prices.\u00a0 In fact, within the new packages, there will be a cheaper package, and their will be a more expensive package,\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n

Alexander said SAT\u2019s new initiatives are in line with government\u2019s mandate to provide universal service to all.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first phase SAT customers will be able to speak to each other free of charge,\u201d Alexander said about the company\u2019s new land-line phone service.<\/p>\n

Acting Prime Minister Kenneth Darroux, who addressed the ceremony, commended the company for its achievement, stating that this initiative goes along with the government\u2019s\u00a0 goal to expand ICT in Dominica.<\/p>\n
