Another glitch in cell phone bidding process

alt(newsroompanama.com)  Technical problems in the bidding process have led to a second delay in the implementation of a program to allow cell phone users in Panama to keep the same number if they change providers.

The move will delay the implementation of the program for three months.

The country’s Transport Authority also had to restart the bidding process to operate the Metro Bus system, because of problems with the specifications.

Public Service Authority Director Dennis Moreno said that attempts to award the contract have failed twice, because of technical problems in the bidding specifications.

The new deadline for implementing the program will be June 2011.
