30 May 2001
On the occasion of Statehood
Day, goanews.com has launched a unique news service - News
on your Mobile - giving an added benefit to mobile phone users
all over the world.
The unique service was launched
at the hands of Desmond D'Costa, JMFC Panaji, at a small informal
function held in Panaji today evening.
Goenkar News Service,
as it is being called, will inform the cellular phone users
of any major news event, as it happens. The one or two-line
message will beep on their mobile handsets instantly, no matter
which part of the world they belong to.
The news however will be exclusively
pertaining to Goa, though any Goan or any person interested
in knowing what happens in Goa could subscribe to this service.
They will receive the news a day in advance, before details
of it appear in next day's newspaper.
Instant news, selective coverage
and authenticity will be the key features of the Goenkar
News Service. Rather than believing in rumours, it will help
the subscribers confirm the truth.
The coverage will be selective
and is aimed at not irritating the subscribers with repetitive
beeps. The service assures not to deprive the users of any
news that will make a difference.
May it be the major fatal
accident, plane crash, dacoity, cyclone threat, weather warning,
scams and arrests or even the frequent rumours of the government
falling once again, Goenkar News Service will instantly
clarify the factual position by sending authentic report.
While goanews.com will charge
a token amount for the Goenkar News Service, receiving
the news would be absolutely free, thanks to the unique service
provided by the Birla AT & T or the BPL in Goa or similar
cellular service providers all over the world.
A subscription form, with
relevent details, has been made available
at different mobile outlets all over the state as well as
at madgaum.com, behind Gomant Vidya Niketan in Margao. Interested
persons are also requested to contact Sandesh Prabhudesai
in Panaji at 222648 or the website http://www.goanews.com.
