ZERO! ZIP! NADA! MAHALA! NOTHING! - That's what you'd pay in data costs to download as many movies, TV series, documentaries and much, much more directly to your smartphone from an OGLE Content Download Hotspot. We've all heard the cry for data costs to fall, but let's be realistic, it's going to take a very loooooong time to happen. OGLE is making it happen NOW! #JoinTheRevolution
OGLE addresses the real issues of data poverty and data cost discrimination. In South Africa and Africa the poor pay a "poverty premium" on mobile data. The highly connected have access to a competitive market of mobile networks, fixed-line and fibre networks and a variety of Internet service providers. The less connected, who are low-income consumers making up the majority of the population, are largely or solely dependent on mobile network operators for their access. Mobile network operators use price discrimination, charging more for small data bundles. The poor pay a 'poverty premium' at rates that are up to 11 times higher than those charged to higher income users who can afford to buy large data bundles.
Africa is seeing an increase in Netflix like streaming and video on demand services which consume large amounts of data and all target the more privileged. OGLE is democratizing access to content taking data costs away totally!
So, how do you incur ZERO data costs? OGLE is the modern day DVD store for Africa so you'd need to find a 'DVD store' which in this case is an OGLE Download Hotspot. We're rolling these out all over Africa and soon there'll be one near you. They'll be at shopping malls, fast food outlets, retailers, transport nodes, spaza shops, schools, and many more. They'll all be listed on the OGLE app so will be super easy to find.
How do you get started? First step is to download the OGLE app from the Google Play store - sorry no iOS app at the moment, we'll release it soon. Once you've downloaded the OGLE app and registered, you're ready to go. Next step is to find an OGLE Download Hotspot and once you're there, connect to OGLE via WiFi and you're ready to download content directly to your smartphone and pay ZERO data costs - EVER! Browse the content catalogue, select, download and take away - you can watch the content anywhere, anytime on your smartphone.
Is the content free? Yes, some content is free but like a DVD store, you're going to be renting some of our awesome content - but the cool thing is you don't have to bring the DVD back! In order to rent content, you need to load your OGLE account in the app which is done via a voucher code - the same as an airtime voucher. We're partnered with some very forward thinking and consumer friendly retailers and brands that have joined the data free revolution and for our launch will be offering OGLE vouchers if you support them. So, you'd be getting a free content voucher AND there's ZERO data cost - you're winning all the way! Isn't that amazing!
