15 May 2007: Zen Broadband was again the choice for media connectivity at the Visa Paralympic World Cup, through leading independent sports marketing agency Fast Track. This internationally renowned event, which brings together Paralympic athletes to compete at the highest level and represent their country, was staged for the third year in Manchester from 7th through to 13th May.
Since the inaugural year of this event, Zen has provided high quality Broadband connectivity to Fast Track. This has proved essential for media access to the Internet throughout the Regional Arena for the Athletics, the Aquatics Centre for the Swimming, and at the media centre in the official event hotel. As this event has a global focus the latest news needs to be delivered without delay, and the Internet connection cannot afford to be unreliable.
The Visa Paralympic World Cup is significant to Manchester and to promote this globally the Internet is an invaluable tool, requiring a high quality Internet connection for the media. Zen Internet has proved it has this reliability and excellent service standard, and has been the broadband supplier for Fast Track since the first year of this event.
Bob Caple of Fast Track Events commented
To be involved in a prestigious event such as this is very important to Zen, and it is particularly pertinent to our company as the Visa Paralympic World Cup is held in the region where we are based. We are pleased to be able to deliver a necessary service and contribute to the work going into this event.
