Delegation History[edit | edit source]

A 2001 Memorandum of Understanding was then later signed between the Government of Barbados and both Cable & Wireless (Bartel) Ltd. and its sister company Cable & Wireless (BET) Ltd., to continue the administration of the ".bb" domains until the government selected alternate directives.[2] In November 2007, .bb was again relegated to the Telecoms Unit within the Government of Barbados.[3]
