Mavin Records’ boss, Don Jazzy has launched his latest business action, a free WiFi service, ‘Flobyt‘ in Lagos last Friday.
The unveiling of the initiative was held at Renaissance Hotel in Lagos where it was revealed that Don Jazzy formed a partnership with Dele Odufuye, founder of Tsaboin, to turn his dream into reality.
According to him, Flobyt is a free WiFi service that is installed across partner locations in Lagos like eateries, parks, taxis, buses, restaurants, cafés and many other businesses. This service is meant to be for patrons of businesses who want to also have access to the internet connection. Don Jazzy also said the internet doesn’t require technical knowledge to operate and roughly 10-30 people can be connected to the internet at once while 10-80 people can do the same whilst in the terrible Lagos traffic.
Speaking about the new business, Mr. Odufaye said,
“You simply walk into any of our partner outlets and patronize them. While you are at that, you can log into Flobyt’s free WiFi service available. Join the “Flobyt FREE Wifi”. If your browser pops up for authentication, just visit www.mavinrecords.com or click on “Free Access” button shown to you.
“We are using state-of-the-art WiFi technology equipment that balances speed, quality of service, security and data consumption. This equipment is lightweight and easier to manage. These are the technological and business edges.”
You thought that was it? Well, Don Jazzy has also revealed plans to redirect his skills and funds into Nollywood. The artist-producer revealed this during the unveiling of his new business initiative, Flobyt. When asked about the way forward for him in regards to music or if to expect any new projects, he said:
“I am not releasing an album anytime soon because I have other artistes whom I need to promote but filmmaking is definitely in the works. I don’t regard myself as an artiste because I am shy and reserved. I don’t like talking in public, I can sing in the studio but performing it on stage is the problem, I don’t want to be regarded as a fake artiste but I will go into movie making in the near future.“
