Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of T&T (TSTT) ex­ec­u­tive vice pres­i­dent of mo­bile ser­vices and vice pres­i­dent of le­gal Lisa Agard says the telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions com­pa­ny will not com­ment on the re­cent rev­e­la­tion that it was or­dered by the pre­vi­ous Gov­ern­ment to as­sist in wire­tap­ping.

She was speak­ing to re­porters yes­ter­day af­ter the launch of bmo­bile's "B smart. It's your call. B hands-free" cam­paign at the Court­yard Mar­riott, In­vaders Bay. Agard said TSTT would not make any com­ment on its al­leged util­i­sa­tion in wire­tap­ping while the in­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

Mean­while, Dig­i­cel in a state­ment yes­ter­day, said it "nev­er mon­i­tored its cus­tomers' ac­counts or is aware of any de­tails emerg­ing from the sur­veil­lance of such by the Se­cu­ri­ty In­tel­li­gence Agency (SIA)." Dig­i­cel fur­ther stat­ed that the equip­ment used for na­tion­al sur­veil­lance was pur­chased and was there­fore owned and op­er­at­ed by the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty.

"Dig­i­cel has had no con­trol or in­sight in­to who has been mon­i­tor­ing. Dig­i­cel was al­so as­sured that the equip­ment would be used sole­ly for in­ves­ti­gat­ing is­sues of na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty and our com­pli­ance was there­fore in keep­ing with our li­cence to op­er­ate," it added.
