To the privatization crew. Dont confuse production and distribution.

While there may be many water and power producers, infrastructure requirements limit water and power distributers to one.

Do you think you will get 2 and 3 companies running powerlines or pipelines to your house ? Each company go have to put down they own lightpoles and dig up the road.

As a result the distribution system will remain a monopoly. And if so it is best it remain a state monopoly.

TTEC makes mega bucks, they own the electricity post. All these telecom and cable companies pay them rents for use of their post.

[De Dragon]

Yeah 6 billion plus eggs, now they trying to give a&v drilling the rest with one of the biggest contracts this country have ever seen.

Dude by my calculation the UNC ripped off 200 billion TTD from this country.

So yeah 6 billion is just a few eggs.

Lewwe see some ah dem dere calculations nah?

When is time to pay and the can't dey usually call the MPU to step in. Hence giving Ttec a defecit in payments.
Remember Ttec Cannot cut certain institutions.

Like I said before I have good authority that the cost of projects under the UNC is triple the actual value of the project. That means that potentially two thirds of non recurrent expenditure is going into people's back pockets. Calculate against 5 years worth of budgets and you end up with 200 billion TTD.

But I willing to admit its an estimate. It could only be 100 billion.

[redmanjp]

boo hoo....
hopefully people learn about conservation this time around

this

our bill went from ave $250 bimonthly to $325 after installing 1 2400W AC. we usually keep it between 25-27C and use a 'Wind Machine' fan to move air around so it's cool enough.

No no you missing the point. The point is to privatise TTEC and employ ppl that will work and seek shareholders stake.
The end result will be shareholders get a return and Government sit back and collect taxes.
A private TTEC will still be a broker and own the distribution set up.

ZR first I ever heard that Trinidad has private water and power companies.

Out of curiosity how much that private water company that serves moruga charge compared to WASA?
I am of the impression that government is significantly cheaper but when you think about it, probably not? Since FLOW internet is cheaper than TSTT?

There are many others that don't know of this and all they do is bump gum

The water plant down Moruga last I heard it was just use to serve parts of Moruga.
They do the same, sell water to Wasa and Wasa sells you the water for a profit. What they do with that profit we don't know.

From my knowledge all brokers always make money.

TTEC and Wasa are just brokers and are mis managed.

Government should not be running any businesses

I see very interesting you make a really good point here, if you overhear trinis talk and a topic like this comes up you always hear them say WASA and T&TEC should be privatized but it can't because only government can provide water and current.

T&TEC black outs far as I see happens too often and they don't get it back up and running in a timely manner, once it happens after dark they purposely take long I witnessed them even stopping by the bar to lime and ole talk instead of rushing to fix the problem. They really should privatize that but which government really have the belly to do that.

Stop talking sheit just to bull zr in he bamsee.
What blackout you talking about? Do you feel to restore a blackout is just to flip a switch to ON? And i know you purposely lying about the crews at the bar because the GM would have dealt with that immediately.
Also note it is usually not the crew that is the first responder but there would be Engineers and/or Supervisors most likely in plainclothes looking for the problem.

our bill went from ave $250 bimonthly to $325 after installing 1 2400W AC. we usually keep it between 25-27C and use a 'Wind Machine' fan to move air around so it's cool enough.

I just have normal appliances along with a dryer and 2 small a/c units that operate only at night times and my bill is close to $500
