Talk:Television in the British Paradise Islands/@comment-6561427-20150912015955

A word to the modern & sceptical: remember this article was created in the mid-1990s and reflects the earliest awareness of the Internet's potential for consumer markets. It may be reasonably assumed that, over the following 10-20 years, the islands' information network has kept somewhat in-step with that of the rest of the Western world. But remember that everything in the territory comes via satellite; VHF and landlines are out of the question, as it's some 4000 km to the nearest continental land mass.

Note too, however, that mobile phones are still effectively a non-issue in the BPI as late as 2002. Tourists insisting on bringing them find them useful only upon stepping off the airliner when they arrive back home!
