Public Consultation Discussion Paper on Proposed Sale of Jersey Telecom

13 July 2006

Issued by the Treasury & Resources Department on 13 July 2006


PURPOSE OF CONSULTATION The proposed sale of Jersey Telecom

DEADLINE FOR RESPONSES 8 September 2006

SUMMARY OF REPORT / QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

Jersey Telecom is one of only a few telecommunications operators in the world that remains fully state owned. Following the incorporation of Jersey Telecom Group Limited and the establishment of the independent regulation of the industry by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority (JCRA) in January 2003, the States of Jersey is now in a position to consider the sale of Jersey Telecom.

The Minister for Treasury & Resources has the responsibility for maximising the value of the investments held by the States. The question posed by the Minister is therefore whether it is prudent for the States to sell Jersey Telecom.

It is the Minister’s opinion that the regulatory framework provides sufficient protection for consumers and that the existing high levels of infrastructure, that the Island depends upon, would also be secure if Jersey Telecom were sold.

The Minister poses a number of questions surrounding the potential sale of Jersey Telecom on which he would like your comment.
