If you live in the Caribbean, you don't need to be a computer expert to know that the region's Internet services need to improve.

If your connection falters so often that you've long since stopped calling customer service for redress, then you’ve got a pretty good idea about the challenges of regional connectivity.

Or if you’ve ever tried to launch a web-based startup, but have found yourself at a competitive disadvantage simply because download or upload speeds aren't cutting it, then you have already have a decent understanding of why the region needs more robust Internet infrastructure.
