At last night’s Chamber of Commerce meeting, chamber president David Robinson reported that Infotech, the call center company that is working toward establishing a presence here once American Samoa is connected to the underwater fiber network, is progressing well. Robinson said the reaction from the business sector toward the call center initiative has been “lukewarm at best.” He urged everyone to get behind the call center industry plan, as it will result in many spin offs that will benefit the local economy.  He cited improved infrastructure and increased consumer spending, which would translate to increased revenues for stores, restaurants, car dealers and housing.
