KUALA LUMPUR, 6 MAY 2009 – Malaysian students can now benefit from the latest mobile data services, says Malaysian mobile firm Maxis Communications (Maxis).
“With the launch of Hotlink Mobile Playground at selected private institutions of higher learning within the Klang Valley, students can now experience the latest in mobile data services,” said Maxis head of product marketing, Lai Shu Wei.
“Hotlink Mobile Playground is an experiential mobile data service area, which allows students to browse the Internet, games, and music on specially set-up mobile phones for free,” said Lai. “It is established at six Malaysian private institutions of higher learning, namely Stamford College and Kolej Damansara Utama in Petaling Jaya, Binary University College in Puchong, Inti University College in Subang, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UNITAR) in Kelana Jaya and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) in Puchong-Kajang.”
Lai said students would be taught how to access the Internet on their mobile phones. “The scheme will last for up to six months from February to July 2009 and two Hotlink ambassadors are permanently stationed at each venue to assist students and to demonstrate Maxis mobile data services.”
Stamford College chief operating officer, Andrew Choo, said: "Hotlink Mobile Playground provides a new frontier to education, enabling students to communicate and learn beyond textbook education.”
