Big moves are afoot in tech. Jump, FLOW’s programme to bridge the digital divide by providing broadband connectivity, devices, and digital training to the most vulnerable households through a public-private partnership, was launched last Wednesday at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel with a futuristic display and a full complement of stakeholders. The programme, which will initially target 1,500 households during its four- to six-month pilot programme and is set to begin next month, aims to significantly narrow the digital gap and ensure that no one is left behind. Something Extra brings you the highlights.
