Trinidad and Tobago has a population of 1.4 million people and an area of 5,128 square kilometers. Its GDP grew significantly between 2000 and 2008 but declined in 2009. Inflation has generally been between 3-12% annually while unemployment declined from 12% to 5% between 2000 and 2006. The country's main exports are mineral fuels, oils, and inorganic chemicals, with its top export market being the United States. Imports are led by vehicles, mineral fuels, and articles of iron or steel, primarily sourced from the United States, Colombia, and Russia. The largest services exports are travel and transportation while the top services imports are transportation and travel.
This document discusses issues facing small service suppliers in international trade agreements. It defines small service suppliers as having fewer employees than an agreed upper limit, noting most have fewer than 20 employees. The key challenges for small suppliers are human resource constraints from wearing many hats without specialization, limited market recognition and networks abroad, and reliance on internal funding with difficulty accessing external financing. While size is an advantage in manufacturing, evidence shows small service firms frequently outperform larger competitors. It is important policies and trade negotiations consider the needs of existing small exporters.

Hastily Formed Networks (HFN) at the Waldo Canyon FireRakesh Bharania
Cisco's Tactical Operations (TacOps) team provides emergency network support after disasters. At the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado, TacOps deployed a mesh wireless network to support over 100 incident management team staff and provide open internet access to 500 firefighters. The network enabled critical communications and data sharing via tools like social media and GIS. However, challenges included spectrum management issues and a lack of awareness about non-radio network needs. Going forward, emergency response networks will be as important as radio communications, using multiple modes like video, VoIP and apps on people's smartphones.
