Dev Digital and Skyward Tech. are not the kind of companies that the Grand Bahama tech hub needs. The are low-tech high tech companies with a small user base, and the technologies that they employ are not anywhere near earth-shattering. They make websites, platforms and do not possess the skillsets of emergent technologies like Blockchain, AI, Big Data or Machine-Learning. These kinds of companies are like mom-and-pop stores, and not a major player.
Kwasi and his committee do not know what they are doing. Strangely enough, he was provided with solutions but it went over his head.
Yes, this woman-smacking, sweethearting, toilet-taking caricature should be in the newspaper. The Tribune needs a comedy section. Although all PLP news is comedy, this bottom feeder is tops.
LOL, what BTC and Cable Bahamas are doing, is playing ball with western intelligence agencies, especially the USA. This what an IXP will do for the Bahamas: if I am located in Saffrey Square and want to send an email with documents attached to the Albany Financial Center, I write the email, attach the documents and press "Send". That email gets routed to the USA, to one of several IXPs located in Florida. It then gets routed back to the Bahamas through several hops, one of which could be a router set up by the NSA to read traffic. We already know that the NSA collects every single cellular call in the Bahamas.
What an IXP will do, is that it keeps internet traffic between two Bahamian entities, in The Bahamas. No domestic internet traffic leaves the country. We need one of these.
Our financial services were decimated by not playing ball with the FATF & the OECD. The flight of capital from Bahamian institutions elsewhere is measured in the hundreds of billions. You can't thumb your nose at the G20 (which runs the fatf & oecd) and expect to do banking on a global scale. If we don't do this, the rest of our banking will go. The trouble is that we thumbed our nose at these rules for too long, and failed to do what other jurisdictions did -- pretend that you are true believer, offer lip service and visible signs, develop an astounding degree of hypocrisy and carry on smartly, -- just like what 90% of Bahamians do with church life. There are no sovereignty issues here, just survival.
Ironically if we stopped being a tax haven 20 years ago and developed mercantile & trade banking, we could have been kings in the financial world. Unfortunately too many Bahamians were on the take for that to have happened.

The PLP should be disbanded as a criminal racketeering organisation without a shred of decency or patriotism.
