Wi-Fi drive gaining strength

THE Barbados Entrepreneurship Foundation’s (BEF) drive to have free islandwide Wi-Fi by November 11, 2011 is gaining momentum.
According to the BEF’s chief executive officer Damian McKinney, businesses which had been lukewarm about “unlocking the padlock” on their wireless service were now getting on board.

The BEF’s business facilitation champion Melanie Jones said the group was working to bring several  more businesses on board, including rum shops. (NB)
