English replaces Pardy at Flow – JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM

Posted in Educational by Administrator on the August 1st, 2008

I must take this opportunity to commend FLOW on their ambitious plans to offer ‘free Internet and educational cable services to all public schools and free cable service to all public libraries’. These services will enable these institutions to better prepare students at all levels to interact with a world that is becoming increasingly digital. FLOW is not unique in providing these free services but they are the only company that is brave enough to attempt a project of this magnitude. It is also a good advertising and marketing strategy, one that I am sure will win for them many new customers.

I am not so enthusiastic however about the ’special package for journalists’. If FLOW should follow through with their plan to offer journalists the ‘triple play’ package for $3,000 per month, it could be interpreted as bribery. No journalist from any reputable organization in any of the first world countries could accept such an offer as it could compromise their position. Journalist should consider not accepting the offer especially since FLOW recently received a significant amount of ‘negative press’ following a series of unpopular acquisitions. Their offer, though generous, should be flatly refused. This should not divert our attention however from the fact that their plans for the public schools and libraries will go a long way in preparing future generations for the digital age.
