466.64MB for every iBurst subscriber!
466.64MB for every iBurst subscriber on Mandela Day iBurst encourages subscribers to use the free bandwidth to make their contribution on 18 July 2010.
Broadband provider iBurst has pledged its support for the Nelson Mandela campaign by offering every single iBurst subscriber a total of 466.64MB of bandwidth at no cost on Sunday 18 July 2010.
“This day is a call to action for people to do something to make the world a
better place, one small step at a time. Internet connectivity continues to
be a massive hurdle for us as a nation to compete globally and while iBurst
cannot single handedly solve this for South Africa – we can take the one
small step which is to provide some free bandwidth to our customers,” says
iBurst CEO, Thami Mtshali.
“Our hope is that our subscribers will use this bandwidth to make their own
contribution. Mandela Day is about many small actions that together will make
a big difference and if there is one thing the Internet is good for, it’s
combining the weight of many single voices to create change,” says Mtshali.
Some suggestions for subscribers include creating an inspirational
presentation, teaching someone how to use the Internet, go to
www.worldwildlife.org and click on ‘Act Now’ to find out what you can
do right now to make a difference, write a new song for peace at
www.newsongsforpeace.org, plant a tree on www.mybabytree.org or play a game where the right answers feed the hungry www.freerice.com.
