Thank you Dixon.

The newer modems and wifi access points actually have a built-in selection to allow the set-up of a guest network which allows you to keep your computer network safe, whilst at the same time offering access to only the internet for guest/public access.
As the article suggested, it may be necessary to upgrade your hardware in the event that your current set-up does not allow such a separate guest network. Opening up your network by removing the security you currently have set-up will indeed open you up to all sorts of mischief as you stated.

I do understand the objective here, and believe it is a good idea. I am just concern about our security.

Greg,
I do think the impact of this initiative will be quite far reaching for Barbados, and even for the rest of the region, when the results begin to be more fully realised…

Jane,

This scenario rings true… So many of us these days suffer withdrawal symptoms if we cannot access the Internet for extended periods of time. It can become quite stressful, especially when we are away on business, or when we are supposed to be on vacation. It is fantastic that Barbados is adjusting to meet the times by facilitating readily available and accessible Internet service island-wide. I just wish the rest of us in the region would be do similar or be that proactive…
