GTA Services LLC, a Guam-based telecommunications company that has been approved to enter and do business in the Commonwealth, said Wednesday that they respect the process in the Commonwealth.
When asked for comments about IT&E’s lawsuit against the Commonwealth Public Utilities Commission, GTA Services executive vice president for external and legal affairs Daniel J. Tydingco said they have been following the process since day one when they applied.
“GTA will continue following and respecting the laws, processes, and procedures of the NMI,” Tydingco said in an email.
Tydingco did not elaborate.
Micronesian Telecommunications Corp., owner of IT&E, filed the lawsuit against the commission last Friday in the Superior Court.
IT&E, through general counsel Steven Carrara and counsel Victorino DLG. Torres, asked the court to allow IT&E to intervene in the commission’s proceedings relating to GTE’s application to operate in the CNMI.
Carrara and Torres said that IT&E should be allowed to participate in the proceedings to and concerning GTA’s application for certificate of public convenience and necessity.
The lawyers asked the court to rule that all documents, pleadings and correspondence in the proceedings be provided to their client.
Carrara and Torres also asked the court to stay the CPUC’s Oct. 17, 2011, order that granted GTA its certificate of public convenience and necessity.
