México Conectado reaches 65,000 public Internet sites
Mexico's transport and communications ministry (SCT) is expecting to further surpass its goal to make available 65,000 public sites offering free broadband access by year-end, according to an SCT release.
So far, 65,149 schools, hospitals, community centers, government offices and public spaces have been connected since the México Conectado project was launched in December last year as part of the federal government's digital strategy.
According to the SCT, 74% of the sites connected so far are public schools and universities, 12% are hospitals and clinics, 8% are community centers, libraries and other public buildings and about 5% are government buildings.
The project is using satellite technology and federal land networks, and seeks to connect 250,000 public sites by 2018.
