Ka-Tel believes that everyone has a right to the Internet. This fundamental right along with the requirement that they must provide affordable services is what leads Ka-Tel the decision to provide for free internet service. In any instance, all current customers will have the option to downgrade to 10MBPS if they are on a higher tier plan. Anyone using dial-up will be upgraded to BPL (if fiber optic is not available) which will provide for a much better and reliable service.
New customers will need to acquire a GAON to get activated if they don’t have a Ka-Tel account yet. Once activated, they will be able to get the free 10MBPS connection to their location. They will also receive a free web.ka website, and matching email address. The account is limited to 15GB, and that should be more than enough. For their website, they will not have FTP access, but instead will use WordPress to manage their account including uploading images, adding new pages, and new posts. By law, all web addresses in Kaldus must be encrypted, and therefore will always begin with https://. Their email address will be NIN@web.ka, but they will be able to select an alias. Once they select their alias, that alias will also be their synched with their web address. This will mean that frank@web.ka will also have https://frank.web.ka.
If there is a family in the residence, one idea might be to make the web.ka address a family website. This will allow the family to share the space within web.ka, and everyone can get a free mail.ka address for email services. This will give a maximum flexibility of the web.ka web address, and the use of mail.ka for email services.
If the subscriber does not have a Ka-Tel account, then they will need to go to a Ka-Tel to activate service, and acquire Internet service. If they have an account, then they will simply call Ka-Tel (611), and request for the free internet plan. They can also log into their account if they have a cellular phone, and use their data connection to connect their computer to the Internet. They will go to Services > Internet > Add. If they do not have fiber in their community, they will have to wait for a modem before they can use service.
