Incidentally, the Barbadian prime minister, Mr Owen Arthur, has responsibility among Caricom leaders to advance the CSME, and Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have committed themselves to be in the vanguard of this process.
But over the years, some Barbadians, particularly immigration officials, have behaved towards Guyanese guests and immigrants with a far less than welcoming or even civil attitude, to the point of friction between the two countries.
There are perhaps real and legitimate concerns to be raised by Barbados, but it must be with decency and decorum and not in a manner to undermine the integration process and to weaken regional commitment to the CSME.

This establishment of local telephone service was only nine (9) years after Alexander Graham Bell had exhibited the first telephone at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition; so Barbadians must have discovered its worth at an early stage, thus forming The Barbados Telephone Company Limited.
