KINGSTON, Jamaica — As demand for streaming, social media, cloud services and digital content continues to rise across the region, Flow is encouraging a wider Caribbean discussion on how major global technology companies can more meaningfully support the infrastructure that powers the online experience of millions of consumers.

According to Flow, the discussion was raised by Stephen Price, vice president and general manager of Flow, during a recent regional panel discussion on utilities regulation and resilience at the Organization of Caribbean Utilities Regulators Conference.

Price said Caribbean consumers are among the most enthusiastic adopters of global digital platforms, using them daily for communication, business, education and entertainment. However, he noted that the networks carrying that growing traffic require constant investment, upgrades and protection—particularly in island states with higher operating costs and increased climate vulnerability.
