For the past few years, most Caribbean countries have been sitting on the sidelines of conversations on 5G, as there were no immediate plans for it to be deployed. However, within the past year, Paradise Mobile has launched operations in Bermuda, with the Cayman Islands next in line, and more Caribbean countries to come.
Zlatko Zahirovic, the Chief Technical Officer and a Co-Founder of Paradise Mobile, joins us to discuss, among other things: 
  *  how Paradise Mobile has been able to launch viable 5G operations in the region;
  *  whether Paradise Mobile is a technology company or an innovation company, and 
  *  how Caribbean countries could better position themselves to experience or leverage 5G.

Natural disasters and other emergencies are not situations that can be completely avoided, but like insurance, it is good to have access to the requisite support in times of need.
As we approach the 2024 North Atlantic hurricane season, we thought it opportune to reshare a conversation we had with Sylvester Cadette, of the International Telecommunication Union, in 2021 on the Tampere Convention in which we discussed, among other things:
 
  *  the Tampere Convention, what it is and why more Caribbean countries ought to accede to it;
  *  the challenges that are likely to occur when countries have not signed on to the Convention;
  *  reasons why countries are not signing on the Convention; plus
  *  the need for Caribbean countries to have more comprehensive emergency telecommunications plans in place.

Innovation. Virtually everyone hopes they are considered innovative, and organisations and our societies at large also want to be seen as being innovative, but there are several myths surrounding innovation that ought to be debunked.
We revisit our 2019 interview with Lorenzo Hodges, of innovation strategy firm, Plain White Table, in which he discusses, among other things:  
  *  the biggest misconception people have about innovation;
  *  how innovation can be systematised in organisations; and
  *  critical elements that must be in place for innovation to truly become part of an organisation’s culture.
