Cable & Wireless Jamaica (C&WJ) last Friday announced that it would provide free high-speed Internet service for life to Kingston College and Holmwood Technical High School as a reward for their victories in this year's VMBS /ISSA Boys' and Girls' Championships respectively.

The gesture, said C&WJ president and CEO Rodney Davis, was further proof of the telecoms giant's commitment towards increasing information-based learning in schools.

He added that it was only fitting that superior performance on the field should be matched by the superior performance of C&WJ's broadband network, which, he said, was the fastest, most reliable and technologically advanced ADSL network in Jamaica.

Davis also said that provision of the company's high-speed Internet service to both institutions would go a far way in enhancing the learning experience and performances of students as well as teachers.

Cable & Wireless Jamaica pumped $3 million into the athletics championships which ran over four days (March 29-April 1) at the National Stadium in Kingston. The cash injection earned the company the exclusive rights to provide telecommunications service for the event.

Kingston College secured their sixth consecutive hold on the boys' title with 233.5 points, while Holmwood scored 319 points to take the girls' title for the fourth straight year.
