3 reasons why the Caribbean has been resting on its laurels when it comes to advancing telecoms and ICT
The Caribbean’s journey toward a fully connected future has hit major snags, despite regional and international calls. In this article, we break down the three reasons why the Caribbean have not been realising its full digital potential.
ICTP 380: Privacy and data protection trends in the Caribbean, with Allison James and Rishi Maharaj
To varying degrees, Caribbean countries are grappling with the issue of privacy and data protection. Countries that have more recent frameworks have been struggling to fully operationalise all of the provisions, whilst there are others that have not adopted current best practice in the space. With information privacy specialists, Allison James of Barbados, and Rishi Maharaj of Trinidad and Tobago, we explore privacy and data protection trends and developments across the Caribbean region. During our conversation, we discuss: how privacy and data protection have evolved over the past few years; the current status of regulatory enforcement; areas of divergence or contradiction that multinational companies operating across the Caribbean must navigate; and trends or emerging developments that the Caribbean region may need to consider.

The digital disparity: Why it may be necessary to re-evaluate global assessments for SIDS and developing economies
Caribbean countries enjoy reviewing their performance in global digital assessments, but it could be argued that the indices produced often unfairly position Small Island Developing States and other developing economies. In this article, we discuss why global digital indices fail the Caribbean region and whether a more balanced assessment can be achieved.
ICTP 379: The importance of being additive when it comes to emergency communications, with Fabian Lewis
Although we are at the end of the 2025 North Atlantic Hurricane Season, we are only six months away from the start of the 2026 hurricane season. Moreover, other hazards or disasters, such as fire, earthquake, or even a utility failure due to a cyberattack, can occur at any time. Fabian Lewis, a telecommunications, emergency medicine and disaster management specialist from Saint Lucia, joins us to discuss how we as individuals, organisations and countries can improve our telecoms resilience and increase the chances that we will be able to remain connected when we need it most. Among other things, we discuss: what makes the Caribbean particularly vulnerable when it comes to telecoms and ICT disruptions during disasters; whether amateur radio is still important in a country’s disaster/emergency communications management effort; and common mistakes organisations make when preparing (or failing to prepare) their telecoms and ICT systems for disasters.

ICTP 378: Digital ID systems, AI governance, and cloud versus local or on-premises services
