Sun texting to end poverty

Trade

18 July 2005

Sun Microsystems continues to power the record-setting text messaging campaign to end African poverty.  Joining with U2 on its worldwide tour and with Live 8 concert organisers, over 26 million people have sent text messages in support of this campaign.

In Ireland, almost 25,000 fans who attended the U2 concerts in Dublin took part in the text messaging extravaganza to support the ‘Make Poverty History’ campaign. 

At the Philadelphia Live 8 concert on July 2nd, a record 26 million attendees and TV viewers text messaged their name and joined the Live 8 worldwide campaign.

Sun Microsystems, recognising the potential that its Java technology has in harnessing the efforts of this movement, teamed with Live 8 to power the text-messaging campaign.
