Bermuda Wins Best Digital Jurisdiction Award
UK magazine, World Commerce Review, has named Bermuda the winner of the Best Digital Jurisdiction Award for 2014, marking the second consecutive year that the island has won.
Minister of Education and Economic Development Dr. Grant Gibbons said, “The Bermuda Government is accepting this award on behalf of the ICT sector, the local and international companies that use and promote e-business, and our citizens who value and appreciate the opportunities that technology provides.
“They are our partners in advancing the digital economy in Bermuda and this award is a testament to that productive and fruitful relationship. I would like to congratulate and thank them all for contributing to this distinction that Bermuda has once again received.”
A statement from World Commerce Review said, “In naming Bermuda the Best Digital Jurisdiction, the selection took into account the regulatory and policy environment, infrastructure, product innovation, on-going customer support and best practice criteria as well as a continuing commitment to deploying the best possible solutions for the benefit of their clients.
“Bermuda has been known as the ‘Wired Island’ for well over a decade. In the last four Economist Intelligence Unit [EIU] digital economy studies, Bermuda has consistently been ranked in the top 22 countries in the world for e-readiness, and is the smallest country to hold that record.
“The island is a world leader in insurance, reinsurance, international business and finance and as such, demands a sophisticated ICT sector combined with a first rate telecommunications infrastructure that includes a redundancy capability of five trans-Atlantic fibre optic cables linking Bermuda to the rest of the world.
“International businesses can expect to find the full complement of IT services and support, including software development and gold standard customer service from the providers. Cloud, security and digital certificate services are prevalent along with hosting, business continuity and disaster recovery providers.”

@shawn
May you expand on your meaning of “spread the wealth evenly”.
You may be considered to have more wealth than some others. How much of your wealth should be applied to the spreading? 10%? 20%?
How much of your wealth are others rightfully entitled to?
