Indotel to 'connect the whole country'

[NewsWhore]

Dominican Telecommunications Institute (INDOTEL) president Jose Rafael Vargas says that within one year the whole country will have access to telephone and Internet service as part of the Rural Broadband Connectivity Program. Vargas said that in some cases rural residents must travel at least 20 kilometers to get Internet access or a phone card. He added that at present, only about four million Dominicans have Internet access. Vargas says the project will open the doors for all provinces to be connected to phone centers, cyber cafes and broadband Internet.
