Reftel describes a breach of the only fiber optic data cable that
services Guyana. As a result it can be difficult to connect
international telephone calls to Guyana. The local telephone
company estimates that it may take as much as three weeks to repair.

on the DTSPO infrastructure. The following IVG lines are staffed
frequently after-hours and would be able to pass an urgent message:

DCM Office: 747-4204
RSO Office: 747-4245
