SMALL BUSINESS AND HOME OFFICE VOIP PBX SOLUTIONS, AUTO ATTENDANTS, QUEUES, & MORE NO DATA PLAN NEEDED, ENJOY CHEAP LONG DISTANCE FOR THE COST OF AN INBOUND CALL EDISON TELCO IS GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, & TO THE ENVIRONMENT. |
Edison Telco provides tier 1 VoIP phone service with the smallest carbon footprint possible. In addition to our environmental initiatives, Edison Telco is actively donating resources towards medical research, climate study, and world hunger.
A status report and detailed information about this project will be posted on the climate research website.
Edison Telco's mission to promote the development of more accurate climate models of specific regions in Africa is generating valuable data through distributed grid computing. Findings from our high availability clustered systems will be available in the public domain, and will serve as a basis for understanding how the climate will change in the future so that measures designed to alleviate the adverse effects of climate change can be implemented. Edison Telco's tremendous computing power will be pooled with other like-minded corporate and institutional entities. The collected data will be used to understand and reduce the uncertainty with which climate processes are simulated over Africa.
Global climate change is currently recognized as one of the most pressing problems facing the world community. The negative impacts of global climate change are of great concern in all areas of the world. However, it is widely recognized that the impacts will be felt most acutely in underdeveloped countries, where the infrastructure and access to appropriate healthcare and other social services, which are critical to alleviating and responding to the effects of climate changes, is often lacking.
In this regard, Africa, a continent vulnerable to climate-related stresses, faces severe challenges. The multiple effects of a variable climate within Africa are clearly demonstrated by the widespread floods in Mozambique in 2000 and 2001, which left more than half a million people homeless and killed hundreds, as well as the poor rains experienced over much of southern Africa in recent years that have contributed to pervasive food shortages. It is currently unclear how the frequency of climate extremes will change in the future, but if left unchecked, Africa's current social problems could be exacerbated, leading to even greater devastation and loss of life.
