The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is one of the developing regional blocs that have moved towards creating a knowledge-based economy and comprehensive diversification of their services sectors. Currently, in many CARICOM Member States there are several Telecenter that create employment for local residents and revenue for governments. Small and medium size businesses from the region are using the Internet to advertise and sell their products to the rest of the world. Government Ministries, among other things, advertise and promote their many services, and investment opportunities while the private sectors offer a wide array of offshore and other services to the rest of the world. These are all e-commerce-related activities that are expected to expand and develop as Member Governments move to facilitate an e-commerce environment.
