Last update: 10 hours agoTelecom Costs in the Spotlight: A new global pricing roundup puts Saint Barthélemy among the world’s priciest fixed broadband markets, with an average monthly cost of $207.26—ranking it 4th overall, behind Wallis and Futuna, Turkmenistan, and the Turks and Caicos. The report says island territories make up 18 of the top 25 most expensive places, pointing to higher infrastructure and connectivity costs, including the realities of undersea cables and limited competition. International Watch Crime: In a separate development, a Serbian man has been extradited to Massachusetts to face charges tied to a $1.4 million stolen luxury watch trafficking case that investigators trace back to a retail burglary in Saint-Barthélemy. Prosecutors say Dusan Pericic helped move and arrange transport of 269 watches to the U.S. for sale to luxury dealers, with alleged activity including shipping watches from Miami to Massachusetts in December 2021.
