Haiti - Justice : Dismantling of international traffic bypass networks
These last weeks, the National Council of Telecommunications (CONATEL), with the help of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) and the technical support of mobile phone companies, proceeded to the dismantling of several networks of criminals who pirated telephone networks by ending on these networks, voice traffic from abroad without prior authorization. Note that this process, known as Bypass takes advantage of the dedicated links to the Internet to make international calls as local calls.

During the various operations conducted in Petion-Ville, Delmas and Carrefour, police seized equipment that can complete up to 400 simultaneous calls and also made ​​several arrests.

While the first network was dismantled in May, CONATEL and PNH remained quiet about the identity of the alleged harasser, in order not to hinder ongoing investigations, what appears today as a wide-scale traffic with branches abroad. The investigations that followed, have allowed to trace other operations and research are ongoing.

CONATEL remember that following these piracy, the Haitian State has suffered a shortfall estimated at nearly one million American dollars, which represents a loss of revenue for both the state, as for phone operators.

While welcoming the collaboration between all parties, including the PNH, the Council warns all those whose intention it might to continue these activities.
