BANGKOK, 5 June 2017 (NNT) – The State telecommunication agency, TOT Pcl, has expedited its work under a civil-state program to provide up to 25,000 villages nationwide with internet access, aiming to complete its work within the year.
TOT president Montchai Noosong revealed that the company will be focusing its efforts on completing its “Village Internet” civil-state program this year. The program has set a target of providing internet access to 25,000 villages, as a way of addressing social inequality.
Montchai said the company is confident that it can satisfy the government’s order to complete the task this year, barring the occurrence of any natural disasters such as flooding or forest fires.
He remarked that the project is a major mission for TOT, as it wishes to build confidence in its operations as well as contribute to uplifting the nation’s communities, thereby creating more opportunities for investment.
Currently, TOT has already installed the high-speed internet networks in over 3,000 villages and in each village, a WiFi hotspot will enable internet access free of charge. The installation process is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
