Hi All,
It's been a year and a half since I left the DR after living in Luperon for a year. I've returned back to the states and started a small web development business in OK (www.lswebsolutions.com). I've implemented 90% of my projects utilizing open source technology and would like to export the experience.
I miss the DR terribly and want to get back so I'm working the angles and need info from all you techies, and others, out there on the current state of the technology industry in the DR.
What is the state of the infrastructure? Can you find broadband access outside the larger cities yet? Are you seeing any wireless points of access implementations? Are you seeing any increases in Internet cafes? Are the larger hotels offering Internet access? What about the market for Computing Science professionals? What about consulting on setting up business systems and such (networks, web servers, mail servers, etc...)? Is the government supporting or developing these areas that you can see?
All input is welcome and I am very aware of how business is done in the DR, unfortunately.
Thanks again,
Steve L
