BTL Appeals to ‘National Interest’ Amid PushbackAs scrutiny over BTL’s proposed takeover of Speednet grows, the company is making its case, asking Belizeans to see the deal as a move made in the national interest. But with unions, senators, politicians, and protesters all raising red flags, many are asking: are the answers matching the concerns? In a recent statement, BTL acknowledged the public backlash and stressed that no final decision has been made. Still, many Belizeans say transparency means more than closed‑door consultations, especially when key financial details remain undisclosed. BTL says the PUC will have the final say and that Belizeans remain at the center of the process.
