$5,000 fine for ‘Magic Jack’

[maj. tom]

The ruling sets a precedence in Trinidad law for future cases.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

but magic jack is not an issue for TATT, the real issue is providing a telecommunications service without a concession, that's like running a call center or a private telephone network ,if TATT had a problem with magic jack they could address that issue from customs but so far there is no ban or prohibition on the importation and sale on magic jack devices in Trinidad and Tobago
I am of firm belief that this law was misapplied and that this matter should be appealed as the defendant was not warned by letter to cease operations

yeah i'm not disagreeing there. Just saying that call termination is the real difference with whatsapp voice vs magic jack, for the ppl saying that "then they need to ban whatsapp etc etc etc"

I'm not even sure the article was written properly either.

Skype allows you to make calls which "terminate" at a land line in T&T.

You can use Skype credit (pay as you go) or a monthly subscription fee.

The business was fined for selling the Magic Jack device. By that logic, anyone who sells a PC with Skype installed should face the same fine?

not arguing that either. Could be that Magic Jack is a stand alone device?

wetfowl looking for attention...why repost??? you're like a hemorrhoid in an arsehole...

on another note.....not only in predominantly afro populated areas are they stealing electricity, i've also seen it in felicity, chin chin etc...

beetham, sea lots, lavantille etc are like a foot with gangrene..... if its not amputated, it will cause the body to die..... in all seriousness, these areas with its inhabitants need to be wiped out of trinidad. thats the only way this country would flourish...

we have so much natural resources and intelligent minds, these areas are a burden and strain on the economy because almost every household you will find a 13 year old pregnant girl who doesnt know the father....

when the child is born they want welfare.....strain on the economy ....the 13 year old dont like school because sex in a tiida by the beach is much better than sitting in a class whole day.....illiteracy......

its not a black people thing...or a racism thing....or a slavery mentality thing....its a stigma created by the afro population and they have no one to blame but themselves.....
