Mavin Records’ Boss, Don Jazzy , has launched his latest
business initiative, a free WiFi service -Flobyt in Lagos on
Friday, 24th of February.
The unveiling of the initiative was held at Renaissance Hotel
in Lagos where it was revealed that Don Jazzy partnered with
founder of Tsaboin, Dele Odufuye, to make the dream a
reality.
According to the founder, Flobyt is a free WiFi service that is
installed across partner locations in Lagos like eateries,
parks, taxis, buses, restaurants, cafés and many other
businesses. This service is meant to be for patrons of
businesses who want to also have access to the internet
connection. The founder also said the internet doesn’t require
a technical knowledge to operate it and 10-30 people can be
connected to the internet concurrently while 10-80 people
can do same during traffic in an area.
Speaking at the event, Don Jazzy said;
“I have always wanted to play big in the
technology space and I looked for people who
were sound and had a beautiful track record in
the technology space. This is my first business
investment in the technology space that is
public while I remain a silent partner in others. I
am really interested in driving Flobyts reach
beyond Lagos. Our Wi-Fi is the fastest in town
and those who stream our music and content
as entertainers are from the US and the UK. We
believe that if we improve our services the
numbers can improve.”
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Odufaye said,
“You simply walk into any of our partner outlets
and patronize them. While you are at that, you
can log into Flobyt’s free WiFi service available.
Join the “Flobyt FREE Wifi”. If your browser
pops up for authentication, just visit
www.mavinrecords.com or click on “Free
Access” button shown to you.
“We are using state-of-the-art WiFi technology
equipment that balances speed, quality of
service, security and data consumption.
This
equipment is lightweight and easier to manage.
These are the technological and business
edges.”
Don jazzy further revealed that Flobyts will avail Nigerian
entertainers an opportunity to begin to make a living from
their craft.
“If it benefits my own company its going to
benefit every other entertainer. Now fellow
artistes can now have more people accessing
their music and if you are staging an event,
they can invite Flobyt to activate the venue.
That way, they can reach their core fans that
are gathered at the event”.
This is a wonderful initiative from our own Mavin Boss, we
hope things like this will continue… More grease to your
elbow, Don Baba J
