Paegas Helps to Educate Internet Users

• RadioMobil has this year become partner of the road-show â?śInternet Changes the Worldâ?ť
• Paegas supports a number of events linked with the Internet world in the Czech Republic

A campaign called â?śInternet Changes the Worldâ?ť started in mid-January in the Czech Republic with the aim to acquaint both expert and general public with advantages that Internet brings to its users. RadioMobil is the partner of this event, which is held under the auspices of eminent personalities of our political scene.

Czech government representatives and parliament members (Minister of Interior Stanislav Gross, Minister and Government Office Manager Karel BĹ?ezina, and MPs Vladimír MlynáĹ? and Ivan Langer) together with representatives of the Information Society Association (SPIS) will tour twelve large cities of the country to demonstrate and interpret usage of the Internet in various fields. The presentations are intended for representatives of secondary schools, local authorities, entrepreneurs and managers, but open to general public.

â?śWe are very happy to be able to contribute to an event that will help present and future Internet users with orientation in the world of information,â?ť says the spokeswoman of RadioMobil Tereza Kakosová. â?śOur connection with Internet events is not coincidental, since we were the first to bring the service Paegas Click to the Czech market, combining the Internet and the mobile worlds. It not only brings its users a range of new services, but it also gives them a much broader view of the world of mobile communications.â?ť

However, â?śInternet Changes the Worldâ?ť is not the only event of its kind that RadioMobil supports. For example, not long ago the Paegas Click logo appeared at the results presentation of the poll ÄŚeský zavináÄŤ, which evaluated the yearâ??s best projects and personalities of the Internet, and whose general partner was RadioMobil.
