There is a possibility that St. Helena may actually be connected to the outside world with a true Broadband connection. See Simon Pipe's Blog for details.
In a comment on the campaign website we said the following:
Burgh House provides business advice to St. Helena businesses and we rely on the Internet for up-to-date information and for research. Improved connectivity would help us help our clients. In addition, in such a physically isolated spot, we see exciting opportunities for Internet-based business on St. Helena if the current cost and capacity constraints can be eliminated. We therefore support this and any project to provide Broadband to St. Helena.
Please support the campaign - go to www.connectsthelena.org/support-us.php to read how.

The airport brings many opportunities for St. Helena and we want to make sure local businesses don’t lose out.
So we are focussing our efforts on helping St. Helena businesses to make the most of the coming opportunities. If you are a St. Helena business, or a Saint planning to return and start a business here, talk to us.
