How to get 1GB of free Wi-Fi for a day in South Africa
South Africans will be able to get free Wi-Fi in some areas for a day next week – 20 June 2017 – as it marks World Wi-Fi Day.
VAST Networks (VAST), an open access Wi-Fi provider, together with Ruckus, will be giving 1GB of free Wi-Fi to all South Africans on its network.
In a country where unemployment is at a record high and small businesses are increasingly being looked at to stimulate economic growth, ubiquitous, affordable connectivity is a necessity, VAST said.
“South Africa is currently facing difficult times and supporting access to the most affordable data rates is a priority. Wi-Fi provides the platform to get people connected personally and across communities.
“Understanding the value of connectivity, our business was founded with the objective of driving inclusivity, empowering South Africans with access to meaningful opportunities for education, jobs, business, etc. and enhancing the global competitiveness of our country,” said Grant Marais, CEO at VAST Networks.
South Africans will be able to access their free 1GB of data at any of the more than 2,000 VAST Networks locations, across the country.
Formed in 2015, VAST Networks brought together the Wi-Fi assets of two key market players – MWeb and Internet Solutions.
