9929: Public Internet Access in Haiti (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Lance Durban <lpdurban@yahoo.com>

I am inclined to agree with our moderator that public internet
access is not a priority need for must Haitians if you consider
only personal use by that individual.  HOWEVER, if a secondary
city is to develop anything other than a purely local economy,
then internet access becomes important even if the vast majority
of that town's population can't read or write!  Ready
communication is not a luxury in today's world economy, but an
absolute necessity.  Outside interest and investment will never
be attracted unless there is a ready means of communication.

Regards,
Lance Durban
