Digicel on Thursday secured a court order against the Government of Antigua & Barbuda.
The Court order prevents the Government from confiscating any of the 850 MHz spectrum which Digicel says has been lawfully allocated to deliver its communications services to customers and giving it to APUA to use for its LTE service.
The order also provides the necessary time for the courts to examine the fairness and legality of the Government's decision.
Digicel has used this spectrum to deliver its services to the people of Antigua and Barbuda since 2006.
Digicel said it was forced into this legal challenge to protect its customers and services from being put in jeopardy on foot of the Government of Antigua & Barbuda's anti-competitive and protectionist decision handed down to Digicel on 8th May that Digicel be compelled to return a significant portion of its 850 MHz spectrum by May 31.
The Antigua government has described it as a move towards "equitable distribution" of the spectrum.
