Aliant first to launch Apple® desktop computer and Internet package in North America
Halifax, NS – Aliant, Atlantic Canada's leading information and communications technology provider, announced today that it is expanding its relationship with Apple® to add the iMac® to the Aliant Computer Purchase Program line-up. Aliant is the first company to launch an Apple desktop computer and Internet package in North America. Earlier this year, the company added an Apple notebook - the MacBook® - to the Aliant Computer Purchase Program.
“Over the past several years we’ve been helping our customers get online with the latest computers,” says Joe Mosher, vice-president of residential marketing for Aliant. “Value, choice and convenience are very important to our customers and Apple’s popular desktop computer - the iMac - should prove to be another great option for our Atlantic Canadian customers.”
With an expansive broadband network and online expertise that has been recognized worldwide, Aliant offers customers in Atlantic Canada a number of industry-leading products and services. The Aliant Computer Purchase Program, introduced in 2005 and a first for the telecommunications industry, was designed to connect more Atlantic Canadians with online technology by combining Internet services and computers together for one monthly price on the same bill. The Aliant Computer Purchase Program gives customers a convenient and cost-effective way to purchase a laptop or desktop computer and also connect with Internet access.
The iMac comes complete with an Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo processor, 1 GB of memory, and a 250 GB hard drive. iMac features include a built-in iSight camera (for video chatting on the go), iLife ‘08 (iMac’s photo, movie, music and web suite of programs), Front Row (iMac’s media centre), and a large glossy 20-inch widescreen display for as low as $52/month in an Aliant Value Package.
