While we here at Engadget HQ ponder a week-long excursion to the splendorous island of Grand Cayman, we can't help but be swayed even closer to pulling the trigger after reading this news. WestTel, along with suits from WestStar TV and ABC Trenching, has just broke ground on a $15 million, seven-year initiative to bring fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) to the only Cayman island with an international airport. The first phase will focus simply on establishing a fiber infrastructure amongst corporations, initially from Television Centre to Camana Bay, then up West Bay Road to Governors Square. Phase two will see the deployment of HDTV and high-speed internet / voice services to residences along West Bay Road, while followup phases will string it to the rest of the island. We just made your
vacation plans a whole lot easier, didn't we?

They can have 70,000 customers in one building on one fiber with all the corporations that have tax shelters down there.
So how long will this take? Cable & Wireless (Worthless) ws just bought out by LIME (do nothing) and they still can't get cell, and Internet to function continually. Now HD at what cost?
