Telecommunications services provider Merit Communications Ltd expects to complete the main build-out of its fibre-optic ring in Kingston within 30 days, allowing it to provide data and voice services to its corporate customers.

The company says it also hopes within six months to extend the ring further towards the Norman Manley International Airport - at the eastern tip of Kingston. Merit has already spent millions of dollars to lay down its main ring - in New Kingston and downtown. Papine is now under construction.
