Hundreds of people flocked LIME stores in Kingston and St Catherine yesterday, eager to grab hold of mobile TV phones to view the historic broadcast of reggae superstar Buju Banton's Before the Dawn concert.
The concert, which will be broadcast live on LIME mobile TV from downtown Miami, takes place on Sunday.
Buju, who received his fifth Grammy nomination for his latest album, Before The Dawn, will be making his first highly anticipated onstage appearance since being arrested on drug charges in the United States more than a year ago.
The entertainer has been out on bail since his first trial ended in a hung jury in September. His retrial is scheduled for next month.
On Wednesday, LIME announced that customers could access a 'mega deal' on television-enabled mobile handsets in exchange for their old phones from other networks. The special handset sale continues today.
