Firm launches wi-fi service

 A GROUP of companies in Lae has launched its Wi-Fi internet service provider offering affordable rates and more megabytes to clients.

The Seeto Kui group of companies said it was a new challenge and venture for the company which once only sold rice and tinned fish. 

The MyNet wi-fi is a quality brand for ease of communication to save costs and promote efficiency. Project manager George Barakat showed guests last week a slide show of the technical side of the Wi-fi.

The firm has set up “hotspots”  at the Angau Memorial General Hospital, Sir Ignatius Kilage Stadium, Lae market, Eriku and Town bus stops.

Barakat said the “hotspots” around town would enable people to get minor signals to use internet services. 

“If I can get Lae city eventually in the next 12 or 18 months, we should move around without losing minor signals,” Barakat said. 

“The hotspots are where the community is. 

“We found a lot of people spending their time outside in the evenings getting internet signals from the outdoor hotspots.”

He said MyNet also was selling data internet plans for its customers.
