The conference was technologically driven as viewers from around the world who followed via the internet were able to send comments by email and text messages.

Dave Newbold, EVP Technology, commented that LIME continues to invest heavily in modern technology because customers in the Caribbean are demanding first world services, and this was just one example of the company’s capability. He added: “In Jamaica, we have recently installed the fastest 3G network in the Caribbean, and we are trialing the “E”ntertainment in LIME, and very soon we expect to make an announcement in this regard. In addition, we are presently rolling out our Next Generation Network (NGN) in some business units. LIME is definitely working with Caribbean people to create a better place. Just watch us.”
