The Chief Executive Officer, Spectranet, David Venn, has said the internet has opened a new vista of opportunities for youths who not only use the platform to access information and entertainment but also as a veritable tool for job creation/employment.
He said many people now have an opportunity to work for organisations outside the country from their homes.
Venn, who spoke on the sideline during the unveiling of the 4G internet service provider’s new logo in Lagos, said: “Consumers all over the world including Nigeria are increasingly embracing the internet as the next revolution in gaining access to information and entertainment, deepening social relationships as an alternative to traditional means of communication and directly making their voices heard in public debates.
“Spectranet’s customers use our services not only to access their emails and browse the internet but also to communicate through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twiiter and Skype. They watch videos on Youtube, play multi-player games across the world. They also watch full feature movies or a world class chef prepare a recipe. Families are using broadband service to do this every day and the internet is fast becoming an essential part of modern family life.”
He said the new logo conveys a vibrant, warm, bright yet humble strong and friendly outlook. It represents the relationship, knowledge, technology and most importantly humility to connect every one of our customers to their world.
The navy blue font coveys the attribute associated with the intrinsic value of the new essence of Spectranet-strong, uncomplicated, clean, modern, sincere, friendly, down to earth and made unique enough to stand on its own and be recognisable. While the icon suggests dynamic movement and represents a number of different things ranging from relationship, connectivity, family, bridge, speed, go live and others. All the elements work together to create a fresh outlook and together represents our connection to the future.
In commemoration of the logo change, the firm said it is offering one CPE (indoor) modem to customers at N12000 with 5gigabytes free data or one CPE (indoor) modem at N16000 and get 30 gigabyte if free data.
He said if a customer buys one portable MIFI at N16000, the customer automatically gets 20 gigabytes of data free.
He said further that customers on its network will continue to enjoy roll-over of unused data when they recharge.
He said the recently concluded elections in the country is an example of what good the internet could do as citizens watch live television programmes on their mobile phones, exchange information as it unfolded at the various polling stations across the country.
“Nigerians across the globe glued to online TV to gain access to up-to-minute information about the elections. Internet has become part of our lifestyle in Nigeria and we can see its impact felt in almost every facet of our lives. The individual is now a major player in the happenings around him, powered by information communication technology (ICT),’’ he said.
