New Go Mobile tariffs - 'we've arrived'
GO Mobile on Friday launched an entire suite of new tariff plans that are intended to bring home PC-type broadband speeds to your laptop, PDA or mobile phone, wherever you are in Malta and Gozo, including on your boat out at sea. The new tariffs include three very flexible wireless e-mail and Internet packages as well as a bundle that's tailor-made for the business community and which offers both voice and data services.

"If they need me, they can send a message saying, "Please call.' " Forget the home office. Farfalla is among a growing number of workers who spend time in a car office. They stay connected through cell phones and e-mails. They call up directions through GPS systems in their dashboards. They eat lunch, and maybe even dinner, on the road. It has helped companies become more productive, but it doesn't come without a downside.
