Cable & Wireless Plc announced yesterday – well they work on Sunday, even if we don’t, very often – that it is to provide the national and international telecommunications service for the Eastern Caribbean island state of Anguilla for a further 30 years following the signing of a licence agreement with the government of the island: C&W has recently installed a Northern Telecom DMS 100 digital telephone exchange under a UKP2.75m expansion programme, making Anguilla only the second country in the world to have an all-digital telephone network – Dominica, also C&W territory, was the first; Anguilla is also to get cellular phones and radio paging under the newly signed agreement.
