Message: [QUOTE="NGeorge, post: 4639999, member: 5996"] My understanding is that Kiwi is a provider for Saint Maarten and a few other islands in the Caribbean as their primary business — they just happened to open up in Florida because they had the space and coverage so why not make a few more bucks… Although I’m far out of the beam, I would think it would be a bit more secure. There are numerous satellite services for the islands that have been around for years — and IIRC St Maarten was yet to have a service. Maybe the subsidize some of this? the only thing I wonder is if they have the US rights for these channels — or if that will come crashing down. Maybe they were able to get a regional carriage agreement due to the limited footprint? [/QUOTE]
