ZOL continues to be an innovative and pioneering ISP. Check out this letter they sent to their clients this week:

Here is a quick tip from ZOL that can save you up to 90% on your phone bill and get cheap Intenational phone calls and SMS messages. You can even get a UK or USA landline number that rings on your computer in Zimbabwe! And to make it really easy to top up your Skype account, ZOL is now selling $5 and $10 Skype recharge cards.

If you haven’t heard of Skype (www.skype.com) you are about to enter a new world! If you have, then are you aware of all the features including cheap calls to phones worldwide, cheap SMS, foreign landline numbers ringing in Zimbabwe and the ablity to set your caller ID to your cell number? To get the best from Skype you need a Broadband connection. However, Skype does work over a good quality dialup connection.

Skype is a global communications company, bought by eBay in 2005 for US$2.5 billion, that uses highly advanced encryption and compression technology to route voice and text communications over a global peer-to-peer network to effectively reduce the cost of phone calls to zero in many cases.

Skype-to-Skype calls and text are always FREE. However to make outbound calls to regular phones costs a fraction of the price of existing providers. More importantly ZOL has convinced a company in the US to sell Skype recharge cards in Zimbabwe. Topping up Skype has always been difficult for Zimbabweans - but this has changed! It’s now as easy as topping up your cell phone. Just buy a recharge card at one of our offices or payment points.muscle cramps caused by lipitor Buy Generic Ambien Cheap Online Lipitor drug cost lipitor bayer 196.

Webdev on Friday (27th March 2009) closed down it’s recently opened TGI internet café located at the company’s 9th Street Premises.

According to a representative from the company, bandwidth costs made the venture unprofitable.

The café had become popular with more upmarket surfers who preferred the quiet and spacious environment of the Avenues.

[ItNewsAfrica] High hopes exists that the formation of a government of national unity in Zimbabwe will revive the troubled information and communications technology sector in Zimbabwe.

Like many sectors in the Southern African country’s comatose economy, the industry has not been spared the economic downturn that has bedeviled Zimbabwe in the last decade.

Newly-appointed Minister of Technology Nelson Chamisa said he was hopeful that some measures devised by the government of national unity would breathe life to the sector. (more…)

With intense and widespread interest in the ceremonies and festivities, especially President Obama’s oath of office and inaugural address, millions of people had been expected to tune in online, especially those without TV access while at work.

Big media, news and U.S. government sites streamed events live and prepared special sections for the inauguration, yet some were still caught off-guard and experienced performance problems, mostly between midmorning and 12:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. (more…)

TIME: If you’re reading this in Africa, you’re one of a few who can. With just 50 million Web users across the continent, as few as 5% of Africans access the Internet, a percentage far lower than in Asia, Europe or the Americas. In only a handful of African countries do more than 1% of the population use broadband services. (Among OECD countries, broadband penetration averages 18%.) And the services that exist don’t come cheap. Broadband costs more in sub-Saharan Africa than anywhere else in the world: consumers in the region spent an average of $366 each month for speedier Internet access in 2006, according to the World Bank. Users in India, meanwhile, paid just $44. (more…)
