The Dominican Republic is a country
located on the eastern two-thirds of the Caribbean island of
Hispaniola, bordering Haiti. Hispaniola is the second-largest of
the Greater Antilles islands, and lies west of Puerto Rico and
east of Cuba and Jamaica. The Dominican Republic is not to be
confused with Dominica, another Caribbean country. Once dependent
on the export of sugar and other agricultural products, the DR
has become the most popular tourist destination in the Caribbean.
Tourism, and free-trade zones, have become major employers and
key sources of revenue.

The Caribbean Cable and Wireless East-West
Submarine Cable
Following the announcement in year 2010 by UK-based telecoms firm Cable & Wireless
Communications (C&W) of their intention to install a new submarine fibre-optic cable
linking Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in the west of the Caribbean with the British
Virgin Islands in the east, these Caribbean regions are now poised for the imminent
launch of commercial services along what is being called the new East-West Cable.
The undersea East-West cable is also expected to land in the Dominican Republic,
thus bringing to fourteen the number of Caribbean countries in which C&W operates. See the report table of
