Just a week after a report predicting that VoIP would be legalised first in West Africa, one of the new breed of 'independents' has had their licence revoked. Guinea Bissau's Eguitel had held a licence for nine months and was about to start carrying international traffic for the new second mobile operator, Spacetel. However, this week the company was contacted by the Regulator and told that the license was being revoked. Eguitel's CEO has vowed to continue operating, saying that the recall of the licence is not legal.
