COMTEK's CEO Sets New Technology Vision For The Virgin Islands

ST. CROIX, VIRGIN ISLANDS. Joseph Fergus, CEO and Founder of Communication Technologies, Inc. (COMTek), one of America's fastest growing technology leaders, has announced today his strategic vision for bringing economic growth and progress to the Virgin Islands. In a statement released to the press, Mr. Fergus is seeking to inspire businesses and consumers of the Virgin Islands to seek competitive access to what will define the Islands' economic future.

Fergus asserts: "In order for the Virgin Islands to realize their full potential, there must be an effective and competitive business environment which allows and encourages high-quality service providers to bring to the Islands the most progressive solutions that today's technology has to offer. Without such competition, the Islands will never have the opportunity to enjoy the tremendous progress and growth already experienced by other communities that embraced change and welcomed new ideas.'

"By allowing effective competition, the Virgin Islands will create a favorable climate where it's citizens can be offered viable alternatives in terms of pricing, performance, and quality of service rather than being forced to accept today's reality of ‘All or Nothing'. It will mean the freedom to choose what's in their best interest.'

"Moreover, this competitive environment will empower the Islands to transform from being a needy customer for outside services to being the regional leader of "best-in-class' services to the other business communities around the region. The ground is ripe for the Virgin Islands to become a true leader, and by building a competitive information technology infrastructure, COMTek envisions businesses gaining access to more opportunities and employees learning new skills that result in better paying jobs.'

For Joseph Fergus, President & CEO of COMTek, this strategic vision has special personal meaning. It is a home coming experience. Fergus: "I was raised in the projects in the Virgin Islands. Having to overcome the adversity of growing up in a low-technology economic environment has motivated me to pursue a successful career in engineering and build the successful telecommunications company I have today." Mr. Fergus is an accomplished Bell Labs Engineer and Senior Development Manager and now heads one of the fastest growing corporate stars in the telecommunications industry. Fergus noted, "COMTek has made a strategic commitment to bring the winds of progress to the Virgin Islands. We look forward to working with both the private and public sector to make this dream a reality. We know we have a long journey ahead of us, but it's a worth while investment in our community's future."
