Mid-Atlantic cable hub a dream come true

Dear Sir,

I must recognise outstanding work. Thanks and congratulations to the Premier, David Burt, public works minister Lieutenant-Colonel David Burch, Fiona Beck, Andrew Dias and everyone else involved.

A mid-Atlantic cable hub!

This has been my dream for a very long time. I’ve worked on three of the largest cable systems as a commissioning engineer for WorldCom — Gemini, Southern Cross and Japan/US — but this was my dream.

You have managed to succeed in realising something that I’ve spent many years advocating for and carrying out desk studies on new landing-cable protection corridors.

Please close Devonshire Bay to new cables, unless one of the three cables there is retired first.

Very well done. This shows a confidence in the Bermuda Government.

Now I propose that the Dockyard and Marginal wharves become free ports and catalysts for inward foreign investment.

This could be the start of something big.
