Network providers aim to reduce digital divide | ITWeb


South African Mobile Network providers aim to reduce digital divide Why it's important, if you cannot afford mobile data, that you need to consider also which Internet services are zero rated by a mobile operator. I just wish there was an easy to read side-by-side comparison for consumers. Often the people most needing this are not is position to easily compare these offerings. From the article for example: "At the beginning of 2014, MTN SA announced that it will be offering its customers free access to Wikipedia as part of its strategy to bridge the digital divide and foster digital inclusion. The decision to zero-rate access to Wikipedia is a testament to MTN's quest to open up access to digital content. "MTN later zero-rated Twitter and it recently zero-rated access to its own video service ‘VU', and further provided free access to online curriculum content for university students last year.
