Have you heard of Curacao? Most people couldn’t find the island of Curacao on a map, and that’s exactly the way they want to keep it. Located just off the coast of Venezuela in the Southern Caribbean, this tiny, undiscovered gem still maintains its charming Dutch influence.

If only half of them come to fruition, it will bring vast changes to the connectivity scene on the continent. Given the current credit climate, I wager that about half of the cables is probably a fair estimate. However, the credit crunch hasn’t stopped France TeSee How 143 Countries Visited Tallahassee In 2008
