Cable Bahamas is currently operational; however, they are awaiting licensure
from the government of Bahamas to provide the WORLDGATE Service and there can be
no assurance that the license will be obtained. In the event that Cable Bahamas
is unable to obtain the necessary license, it may no longer be able to offer the
WORLDGATE Service. |
