Election must be in the air, because that is the only time I hear good things like this from our Government. But sorry to say this approach is not the answere, it takes a lot more than that to really and honestly solve our problem.

Digicel is always very cool to us, so that isn’t a bad thought.

Overall issue is really more access to a secure connection, meaning if we are trying to stream from certain places – like outdoors – we have no choice but to use a low MB mobile connection given our equipment limitations. Sometimes we ‘borrow’ the venue’s internet access, and must say that is way better.

In this case, we are hoping to get access to a landline connection at the venue.

Maybe ask Digicel/Transact to sponsor a live stream to improve you chance(s) for success?

If they’re underwriting the service one would hope they have a vested interest in ensuring its satisfactory outcome.

Assuming the organizers say its okay to livestream it, we will carry it live. Only hitch is we aren’t exactly CNN with a satellite truck or anything, we live stream off a mobile connection, so until the actual moment we can only be around 95% sure the stream will go off.

Well, it’s better than nothing. Even better would be if the PLP resigned on account of being utter failures. Better than that, would be the repealing of idiotic legislation and removal of red tape.

The only time talking about money isn’t obscene is when there isn’t any .

I agree with Chart. Further until Bermuda has a Government comprised of MPs/Ministers who understand what it means to run a succesful business nothing will change, as this Government didn’t know how they got in this mess, and are now appealing to the public for help to Bermuda out. Unfortunately they won’t listen.

it’s a pity Government did not work with these groups for the past 10 years … our problems would not have been as severe as they are now.
