I would like to know why the PIC is NOT available in Trinidad & Tobago, 
but _is_ available in other Caribbean islands. Cable & Wireless, your 
partner in this initiative, is a 49% shareholder in the local 
telecommunications monopoly, TSTT. There has been absolutely no 
announcement of your initiative locally.

I find this a lost opportunity since many schools here, operate without 
any computers at all. The PIC would have a great impact on education 
locally. Why has Trinidad and Tobago been excluded from this initiative?

I applaud AMD's efforts but I find it unacceptable that my country has 
been marginalised in this way.

I look forward to hearing from you on this issue.

Sincerely,

Richard Hamel-Smith
