bmobile has always recognised the need to uplift persons living with disabilities and has been committed to helping organisations like the Caribbean Kids and Families Therapy Organization (CKFTO) with this vision achieve their goals. Gerard Cooper, TSTT’s General Manager Shared Services, believes in creating a more equitable future for all citizens.
Introduced in 2018, the bmobile Business Technology Award highlights, recognises and celebrates companies that are leveraging technology to drive and further develop their business. Particular attention is paid to disruptive, technology-based companies that are making significant positive impacts for consumers and for the industry too. To complement the title, the winner will receive a customised bmobile Business Solutions Package valued at $10,000, which is specifically designed to support the continued advancement of the company.
The achievements of the top two 2020 Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) students in Tobago were celebrated by the bmobile foundation. First placed, Susannah Thompson, and second placed, Reyanna Thomas, have been awarded connectivity for the first five years of secondary school admission. The students were honoured during a simple ceremony held at the bmobile Lowlands Mall Office in Tobago.
TSTT and VMware hosted a webinar recently to discuss this issue and detail how cloud-based technology, delivered by a best in class data centre provider, could dramatically improve a company’s financial profile while providing it all the tools to better manage the current business challenges and be ready for the future.
A pupil of the Audrey Jeffers School for the Deaf, Thorne has never allowed his disability to hold him back, and despite facing many challenges, including the disruption of classes due to the covid-19 pandemic, he persevered. Communicating via sign language with his interpreter, the teenager revealed that he “felt very happy” to be recognised for his hard work and was looking forward to a career in photography when he finished school.
bmobile have been recognizing SEA top performers this way for over five years and each year we are inspired by the excellence and potential they represent. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the journey of these young persons for five years of their secondary school career, as they strive towards even greater academic and personal success.
Companies and entrepreneurs the world over have re-evaluated traditional approaches and turned to technological solutions as their north star. In six months, we have seen a mass adoption of technology as businesses go digital in their quest to survive. While the pandemic maintains its grip on the economy, it has also been a driver of innovation and creativity as businesses and entrepreneurs explore opportunities that either didn’t exist before or saw a surge in demand in recent months.
On Saturday, 23 boats battled in six different race classes as the 52nd edition of the race, hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Power Boat Association (TTPBA) and sponsored by bmobile, got underway.

The Board of Directors of Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (TSTT) wishes to announce the resignation of its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ronald Walcott who, after six years as CEO of the company, is moving on to pursue other career opportunities.
This year will also feature a mixed team which is unusual because powerboat racing is a male-dominated sport. Jason Costa and Stephanie Llanos are hoping to capture first place in the 80 mph class with their boat, Heat Wave. The couple, who are engaged, will be racing together for the first time, with Llanos making her entry into the sport as the driver and Costa, with seven years’ experience racing Heat Wave, as the throttle man.
