Russell Simmons unveiled his latest endeavor, the RUSH Communitcator project. It will make all types of wireless devices accessible to anyone who needs it or wants it, via one prepaid phone card, The One Card. The card will be usable for cell, long distance, 2way pagers, alphanumeric paging, internet appliances and local telephone dialing services. Simmons told the New York Post: "There is a communications divide in this country, and the One Card creates a simple way to communicate." "Some 50 percent of all phone calls made in the U.S. are prepaid, almost 100 percent of kids in the US can’t get cell phones or pagers, and one-third of the people who want cell phones can’t get them. Most people in America are credit-challenged. No one should be denied access to the latest information and technology, " said Simmons. The One Card will be available in over 5,000 retail locations by the end of 2001.
