“We have been having discussions about Caribbean Cable, and today we are reading from the same book and singing the same song, as we are looking to get broad-band and a total wired Nevis for the benefit of the residents,” said the Premier.

The Hon. Joseph Parry said that this modern upgraded service would be very beneficial for businesspersons and young people interested in Internet services.

A candid Lee Bertman told the Department of Information, that he has had some differences with the Premier in the past, but those differences have all been completely resolved.
