Registered For The Caribbean Internet Forum, 2008

After some communication about my concerns related to the Caribbean Internet Forum, an error on their website was made apparent - people within Trinidad and Tobago do not require a bank draft to register; they may pay with a regular cheque/check. And cash at the door is not ruled out - but they do wish to have people registered beforehand so that they know how many to expect.

So I registered, and they'll be correcting the error on the website today, I am told. I also suggested taking credit card payments, which I am told will go to the organizing committee for the next time around. While it has become apparent that Trinbagonians have a better chance of attending without the inconvenience of going to a bank and assuring a bank draft is done, I cannot imagine that the inconvenience I saw being any less for people outside of Trinidad and Tobago.

It looks to be a good forum in the making. You can read about it here, but the thrust of it seems to be mobile and wireless access - something which bodes well in the Caribbean due to the small geographic nature of islands.

If you're going to be there, drop me a note below.
