			<title>Internet for Everyone!</title>
			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/technology/latest-tech/10364-digicel-and-govt-spread-internet.html#comment-60848</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Why not just connect everyone one time? Divide up all the customers and charge a flat rate. APUA is the most expensive for no reason at all. Cable and wireless is unreliable. Digicel and ACT are the same. So really we have 3 choices. Karib Cable and CTV would like to get in on it but they can barely handle their own operations. So I say give internet to everyone and charge us all the same.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh boy. What blatant bribery! I think that the idea to provide service to the schools is great and commend them for it,except it will be interesting to see who has to foot the bill for all the equipment in order for the schools to utilise this great gift. Bbut to homes in select areas? What makes someone in Grays Green or Yorks more deserving than someone living in, say, Johnsons Point, Urlings or Old Road? Bribery, bribery, bribery!!! Not a fair shake for everyone ever. A lot of people have had to give up the internet in order to be able to afford food and other absolute necessities. Just for once, a level playing field would be nice putting people about politics.]]></description>

			<title>Did he forget that APUA is state controlled?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[The government is now competing against itself - Digicel vs APUA. Why can't we find politicians (almost forgot that he got a ministry without being elected, poor Chanlah) people who put the country before their pockets? Is the intention to line up a preferred company for an eventual take over of APUA?]]></description>

			<title>Free Internet service island-wide</title>
			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/technology/latest-tech/10364-digicel-and-govt-spread-internet.html#comment-37493</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Digicel froze their employees salaries. Digicel doesn't pay staff over-time. Yet, they could find all this money to invest.
Seems to me that they have learned how to play the game. LIME had complete monopoly for years under the ALP and partly with UPP. By offering this 'service' they have successfully elbowed LIME out of the picture.
Dr Mansour is unfair to single out an internet provider because he acts as Minister in the Telecommunicati ons Ministry. Instead, he should have discussed this idea with ALL enterties as a joint effort for schools and homes.
I accept that schools be given the opportunity to have computers and internet service, but how will giving homes free internet be beneficial to ACT, APUA, LIME and DIFICEL?
It doesn't matter which party; they are ALL bloody **ed!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Is Digicel a licensed ISP? Do they have equip to provide these services? what about the other ISP's like ACT, aren't they losing revenue on this deal? and what of their employees and employment capabilities if this is so? Is there something we are not being told? Who is providing them with the network infrastructure? is it a family affair? There was a fledgling Company called Kool Net Ltd, who has since suffered from the economic crisis fallout, who since 2002 was at the fore front in Antigua with online training, internet in the schools when there was none, and was shafted by the authorities by their lack of vision and their out right lies (emis project) which is still not online, now the Manchurian candidate is been allowed to shine?..hmm]]></description>

			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/technology/latest-tech/10364-digicel-and-govt-spread-internet.html#comment-37117</link>
			<description><![CDATA[As usuual these articles leave alot to be desired. First question, who is paying for the computers and the internet access and equipment to get the access? I understand the creation of the sites for the school children,not a problem, but what will be the difference between what APUA, ACT currently offer.
Sometime s reading these articles, I get the impression that someone believes they are dealing with idiots. People in Yorks already have internet access, so what different is Digicel going to offer except trying to corner another market.]]></description>

			<title>Fantastic idea at first glance but lets dig a bit deeper.</title>
			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/technology/latest-tech/10364-digicel-and-govt-spread-internet.html#comment-37073</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I would love an **sment of how many jobs in the current telecommunicati ons sector a move like this could negatively impact? Sure I want free internet but if I terminate my service with my current provider doesn't that eventually affect that business's bottom line and it's staffing? Maybe mute questions to some but extremely important questions all the same especially considering the current economic conditions in this country.
Anothe r question would be what exactly are some the ways in which this move would prove to be financially beneficial to the m**? Anybody can say empowerment but at least show the people how they can go about doing it, not just the same old regular sound bites.]]></description>

			<title>What About APUA</title>
			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/technology/latest-tech/10364-digicel-and-govt-spread-internet.html#comment-37048</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows APUA has the BEST Internet service on island. I wonder what Dr. Mansoor will benefit from teaming up with Digicel and his cousins at ACT!! Read between the lines people! He's really trying hard to cripple APUA. Wake up Mr. PM!!!! It's not about increasing competition, which is healthy, it's about getting rid of the first and only state owned utilities company.]]></description>
