“The site has been welcomed by the industry with open arms and we have been watching its development with keen interest.
“Obviously we are looking forward to plenty of exposure for the Vodafone brand through Speedcafe’s advertising and marketing concepts, but more importantly we feel good about the fact that we are helping make this free service possible for the fans.”
