Jamaica's government has just announced a $5 million program to provide free Internet access in poor communities across the island.
Phillip Paulwell, Jamaica's Commerce and Technology Minister, said, "The "e-Jamaica" initiative will establish 60 Internet centers across the country by 2010, mostly in post offices. The effort is directed at communities that continue to operate on the outskirts of the communications revolution."
The initiative to offer free Internet access comes as a response to the fact that less than 5 percent of Jamaica's 2.6 million people use the Internet due to costly fees. Broadband Internet access starts at $93 per month in Jamaica, compared to $12 in some Asian countries.

I don't think you should prevent people from getting the Internet just because of possible robbery.
alongside the asian and argentinian netblocks. Add that to the multiple
american netblocks that host spamhouses and our spam filters will
outweigh our inboxes.
Clue: Jamaica isn't an African country, it's right up your nose in the Caribbean. Get your facts straight before trolling!
I could say United States -- most people there are from Europe -- Is that racist? NO
God you are the idiot.
And besides the blacks and Jamica are desendance from Africa... and the country is remarkably similar to Africa in terms of culture and poverty and crime.
So now the user Zeitgeist is saying the reason Jamaica has poverty and crime is because it has black people. Who let all the racists out today?
Wow. kairon did you really have to come and SHYTE on the open neowin forum?
I would have though that creating a good economy involved educating people, helping them find opportunities, communicating ideas! even. I do't see how setting up 2 internet libraries hurt that goal.

Kairon, you are a retard, now turn off your PC, go do your homework and stay in school since you don't know sh|t about world.
Don't make fun of the handicapped.
Oh and for the record, HUMANS share 99.x% of the same dna as apes. There is viritually no difference genetically between individuals of different races.
YOU IDIOT.
And if you look at early humans and their migration patterns, as well as other factors you can see how humans evolved since they were first created in Africa. Truth be told, as they moved out of Africa -- humans needed to adapt to different conditions then what Africa had, and that is why there IS differences between the races -- not only physically but also in other factors such as intelligence.
oh really, you better have scientific proof of your arguments, otherwise is just only another myth..
And only blacks spread AIDS? Please take your brain out of your nether region, PLEASE!
In belgium we pay € 42 a month for cable ...
