I agree, Jacky, but the problem of broadband penetration is a matter of cost and telecommunications regulation. This has been mentioned more than once at the CARICOM Internet Governance meetings, as an example - meanwhile the mobile phone subverts this by allowing voice and text communication as well as, in some cases, internet access.
At the end of the day, it isn't about gadgets. It's about policy and costs. (As a subnote - good to see someone from Haiti here!)
