Bermuda could have been a financial capital, but chose to squander that.
Bermuda could have had a tech sector with Global Crossing, but the PLP put a top to that.

Too little, way too late.

Artie stop writing opinion pieces as you obviously have no clue whatsoever about IT and business! I fear that any business you are in is a disaster if you think that a Google or Microsoft would set up a data center in Bermuda. Have you even seen a Google Data Center? Their California one is the size of Bermuda!!!

What garbage – I am a Bermudian & senior tech person abroad, put frankly and honestly, Bermuda serves no purpose of any kind to a global Cloud service and is filling no gap in any industry to warrant that kind of tech here. The only data stored in Bermuda is surrounding legality of offshore companies and are all VERY small satellite shops. Also BDA has a SEVERE lack in regards to its talent pool for senior devops people to run services like this, even if it did exist it would therefore be run by more seasons devops folk abroad. Articles like this are just hogwash like BurtCoin was / Fiction.

What a load of crap. We’re better off sticking with the “exciting and promising” space industry. Like most ideas to turn Bermuda around, we’re a day late and a dollar short.

How do you expect to get cheap power for data centers when we can’t even get cheap power for ourselves? Why would a company in this sector want to come to Bermuda when cheap power and high speed internet access are already available in other jurisdictions?

…”the positive increase in highly skilled jobs..” you mean more foreigners taking our jowbs? This government and their sheeple have already made it clear that we don’t want expats.

It should also attract media, production or music companies. Bermuda is kind of a stick in the mud, conservative little place and these companies would boost the profile of the place at least.
