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.
