  2. Great but i have to pay a high bill monthly for getting nothing most of the time this life aint fair one bit……

  4. Antigua and Barbuda should have Island-wide free WiFi service. The new technology of WiFi allows for very far coverage at a cheap price. Our geography is small enough to allow this to happen.

    Singapore has free WiFI for all their citizens on their island, we should do the same.
