  • Island-wide FREE WiFi for all as of 11:11:11ON

    BARBADOS TODAY 25.07.2011


    by Alicia Austin
    As of November 11 this year, everyone in Barbados
    whether visiting or residing will have free Wi-Fi access to the
    Internet.


    This was confirmed at a press conference by the Barbados
    Entrepreneurship Foundation at McKinney Rogers, Woodland
    Plantation, St. George. Functioning with the slogan, 11.11.11.
    ON to emphasize the venture, Chief Executive Officer of
    McKinney Rogers, and an associate of BEF, Damian McKinney,
    said it was the desire of the organization for people in the
    country to have free access to the Internet — “from bus stop
    to rum shop”.


    McKinney said the Wi-Fi proposal was an initiative propelled
    by the current economic recession and the turmoil that some
    countries had been facing.


    “You need to have something that really launches the
    challenge. There were many who had this similar dream and
    what we did was take that dream and make it a reality by
    saying that we would deliver it by November 11, 2011 —
    we were referring to this as 11.11.11.ON. It’s an absolute
    commitment that we will provide, free Wi-Fi access to every
    person in this country by that date,” McKinney said.
    He noted that the achievement could make Barbados the
    first completely wireless island in the Caribbean and the first
    country in the world to achieve 100 per cent wireless access
    across its territory.


    He added that the venture was an opportunity for Barbados
    to be at the “centre of the world” by giving people access
    to what the world has to offer via free Internet. “Whether
    you are a young student doing your geography or history, or
    a project, [you will have] access to information on the web.
    Frankly, I wish when I was a young person I had access... It will
    provide entrepreneurs the opportunity not only for business
    ideas, or thoughts, but simply the ability to interrogate lessons
    learnt. To old age pensioners who are looking forward to
    their next chapter in life, to unions, to all of us, we’ll benefit
    massively from this opportunity,” McKinney said.


    To pursue this project, McKinney said the organization
    engaged in talks with the Government, and telecommunications
    companies to create what he described as a “seamless
    infrastructure” for citizens, tourists and businesses to
    participate with the liberty of not having to apply a password.
    McKinney said he believed Barbados could be a world
    leader, despite its relatively small size.
    He warned, however, that the access would not extend to
    people being able to download a movie or upload a clip but
    rather to allow Internet access at sufficient speed to facilitate
    connection and manipulation of e-mail, access text-based
    information and make simple on-line transactions such as
    banking and bill payment.
    He also stated the recent advertisements aimed at
    persuaded people to secure their Internet connections was not
    a hindrance to the project.

  • Sandflöhe.....

    Die Bajans sagen immer, dass man im 'live' Sand spielen soll. Das ist der Teil vom Strand der bei Flut gewaschen wird bzw. unterhalb der High Tide Line. Daruber ist der Teil wo das Meer nicht hinkommt ausser bein Sturm. Die sagen 'dead' Sand dazu.


    Also buddel im feuchten Sand und alles wird prima sein :cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:

  • Was gibt´s Neues von Barbados?

    Zitat

    Original von Werner


    Beim Cafe bin ich mir nicht sicher - wir waren auf jeden Fall nicht da.


    Beim Fischmarkt ist alles beim alten - sieht noch genau so aús, wie 2006...


    Cafe Jungles ist fort.


    In Oistins hat sich sehr viel getan. Es ist zwei Jahre lange umgebaut worden.


    "The Oistins Fish Market will be officially known as the Berinda Cox (Baby Doots) Fish Market," he said of the celebrated Christ Church woman. "


    Casa del Sol ist auch weg. Abgefackelt.....


    Und Tim ist so GRAU wie meine Burmakatze!!!

  • Mal ganz was anderes!

    Meine Eltern pendeln alle drei Monaten zwischen Palma und München mit Kater Ping-Pong im Handgepäck. Mein Vater hat ein Kleintierrucksack und der Pingy kann links und rechst durchs Netz rausschauen.


    Egal mit wem sie fliegen, kann Pingy mit in der Kabine. Aber sie müssen auch ein Ticket für ihn kaufen. Kostet so um die €50. Er darf auch nicht während des Fluges raus.


    Langstrecke kommt es immer auf die Fluglinie an. Bin vor einer Woche mit Delta von JFKnach TXL geflogen. Es war auch eine Kantze mit an board.


    Viel Glück,

  • VAT increase to 17,5%

    According to published reports, Barbados’ Finance Minister Chris Sinckler recently announced that the country’s VAT rate would increase from 15 to 17.5 percent, effective December 1. The tax increase will be in place for a period of 18 months but will be reviewed in a year.


    The VAT increase is expected to generate B$124 million. Sinckler informed that the threshold for VAT registration will increase from $60,000.00 to $80,000.00, and the excise tax on gasoline will grow by 50 percent. Bus fares are also slated to increase.


    The cost for immigration documents and passports will go up from $125 to $150 for adults, $75 to $100 for minors and $175 to $225 for businesspersons.

  • Effective January 1, 2011, bus fares will be BB$2

    Effective January 1, 2011, bus fares will be BB$2 – an increase of 50 cents.


    Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Christopher Sinckler, in his first budget presentation since assuming that new office on September 30th, this year after a cabinet reshuffle said this would add $8.4 million in revenue to the Transport Board.


    Speaking from the floor of the House of Assembly, he said the Board has continued to accumulate large deficits over the years, adding that it was unable to meet its debt servicing cost and based on the current tariff was unable to meet its operating costs.


    “The Transport Board however provides an essential service in transporting people across the island at a reasonable cost. In the present circumstances however, Government cannot afford to carry the level of subsidy required to support the operating cost of the Board.


    “Moreover the Board should be placed in a position to allow it to operate in a more businesslike manner thereby reducing the extent to which they rely on Government for transfers,” he said

  • Barrel time

    Hallo,


    Das geht auch wirklich nur von England aus. Meine Freundin hat gerade zwei Mal hintereinander sehr gute erfahrungen mit Transpak Ship gehabt. Kostet GBP 30 der Barrel selbst und GBP 150 der Transport. Ich habe sie wiederrum auf Barbados auspacken dürfen. Die Fässer sind riesig. Mit dem Wechselkurs momentan, auch noch erschwinglich.
